From Pinellas Park, Florida<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Pinellas Park (Florida) Police said McMaster’s girlfriend, Christina Robles, opened the door for a stranger when he knocked on her condo door. The complete stranger asked her for directions to a nearby park. When Robles tried to close the door, the stranger pried the door open and started choking her.<\/p>\n

She yelled to McMaster, who was asleep upstairs, for help. “I held over him and I told him follow my commands and if he didn’t then I’d go after him.”<\/p>\n

McMaster first started punching the 17-year-old, then, he reached for the first thing in sight: A full size axe. <\/p>\n

“It just so happened to be there. I had him by his thoat and he was down. He looked away for a minute I went and grabbed it and then he really got scared because he was afraid I was gonna hit him,” McMaster explained.<\/p>\n

Instead, he held the teen with the axe for more than 5 minutes until Pinellas Park Police Officers arrived. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Prestonburg, Kentucky<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Noises coming from his basement awakened Todd Trout early Friday morning at his home along Highland Avenue in Prestonsburg.<\/p>\n

After checking downstairs, he saw the basement door was still locked, but when he checked it quickly became apparent somebody had been going through his tools.<\/p>\n

Then he spotted a man crouched down hiding behind a furnace.<\/p>\n

“It scared me,” Trout said. “It made me mad, everything all at once. Here I am in a pair of boxer shorts and a shirt, and what do I do next?”<\/p>\n

Trout grabbed the first thing he found that resembled a weapon: a sledgehammer.<\/p>\n

“I said ‘Pal, you’re not going through that door.”<\/p>\n

He says he yelled for his wife to call 911. He kept his eye on the would-be thief until Prestonsburg police arrived.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
