Fla. Women Disarm Intruder With Sandwich
Oct 30, 3:31 PM (ET)
Tampa, Fla. (AP) quote:
Confronted with an armed intruder in their home, two women plied him with a ham sandwich and rum until he became groggy and passed out.
Police arrived and arrested Alfred Joseph Sweet, 52, to end the five-hour episode.
Cathy Ord, 60, and Rose Bucher, 63, said they tried to befriend the man after he burst through their kitchen window with a sawed-off shotgun Tuesday night.
They made him a sandwich, gave him a bottle of rum and suggested he shower and shave so he could "sort of be disguised in his getaway," Ord said.
"We just treated him with kindness," Bucher said.
She said she had offered Sweet cash and the keys to her Cadillac, but he just sat with them, holding his gun. The intruder never said what he wanted, the women said.

They've experienced pain and bought jewelry."

what an idiot, but smart dames.
Go with God, but make Him walk the point.
If you load a mudfoot down with a lot of gadgets he has to watch somebody a lot more simply equipped - say with a stone axe - will sneak up and bash his head in while he is trying to read a Vernier. - Robert Heinlein
