Burglar caught by 95-year-old veteran and his daughter

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — A career criminal who was interrupted as he broke into a Wisconsin home is now in custody.

Mary Bennett knew something was wrong when her dog barked and her dad hollered her name.

"When I came down, my dad is laying on the floor here, and the guy's standing, and my dad's got his arms wrapped around the guy. I just tackled him," Bennett said.

Her 95-year-old dad had caught a burglar. Bennett told him to call 911 while she grappled with the guy.

"As I was wrestling him in the house I could tell that I could kind of take him," Bennett said.

Finally, the burglar got out their back door, but Bennett followed. She chased him nearly a half mile in bare feet and her yoga clothes.
