Brandon the hero of the day!!! Justice is served!!



So on friday morning Brandon was home unloading one of our trailers and I went off to the gym. He got a call from our sis in law Tara saying she would go pick up some groceries for The Jerk Shack but she just needed the money. Brandon was still driving down our street where we all live and told her he would take the money over to her house and put it on the table. Tara said ok and just so you know my sister is at the house probably still sleeping. Brandon pulled up and left his truck running. He walked in and heard a noise in the kitchen and said "hello?". No answer came. He said he thought maybe Tara's sister was undressed and didn't want to answer. He said "hello" again and a man came out from the kitchen and tried to run out of the house past him. Brandon grabbed the guy by the arms, lifting him up and asked who he was. He said his name was Steve and that he must be in the wrong house. Thats when Brandon knew something was very wrong. He let the guy down and threatened him, telling him that he needed to call his dad, and that if he tried to run he would take him down and that he would feel pain galore or something to that nature. I guess because he knew Brandons strength already he was scared and just waited while Brandon called his dad (who by the way is a detective in our city.) His dad arrived in about a minute or so and arrested him. They had been looking for this guy for several weeks now and Brandon had just saved them a ton of paper work not to mention they recovered a few valuables he had taken from the house. I also believe he is the one who has been stealing items out of cars on our street recently too. What a relief that Brandon just happened to be home that day (when he never is) and that it wasn't me or Tara who walked in the house. Maybe it was more than a coincidence, all I know is that the guy above is behind bars and that my husband is a hero for catching him. Way to go you big hunk. I love you
