Awesome video shows a Texas mom body-slamming a suspected peeping tom accused of looking into her teenage daughter’s bedroom window.
“First instinct was just to make sure he didn’t go any further,” said mom Phyllis Pena.
“My kids are my life and just making sure I protect them,” Pena added.
Pena said she got home from a store around 7 a.m. on Jan. 31 to find the suspect staring into the window of her 15-year-old daughter. And she wasn’t very pleased.
The suspect started running away as Pena called police. The suspect was found again in the neighborhood by police, but he started running away again.
Where did he run? Well, he started running straight towards Mrs. Pena — and she took him down in a big way! Then Pena and her daughter pinned him down until police were able to arrest him.
Zane Hawkins, 19, is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance, evading arrest and resisting arrest, Lake Jackson Police said.
“It’s not very often that we have somebody that actually steps in, puts themselves in harm’s way to assist in apprehending somebody,” Sgt. Roy Welch said.
The takedown was videotaped on the police’s dashcam.
“The cop fist-bumped me and he was like, ‘Hey, so I heard the Texans are looking for a new linebacker,’” Pena said.
