A quick-thinking teenager who took matters into her own hands when an intruder allegedly burst into her Massachusetts home.
MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. -- "Somebody just tried to break into my house," 14-year-old Avery Cormier told a 911 operator."And I'm all alone."
Cormier said adrenaline kicked in. She found two steak knives and went straight after the trespasser.The intruder, startled, ran out, but not before Cormier took out her phone and recorded a video of the suspect vehicle leaving the property, capturing his license plate number. Thanks to that recording and Cormier's quick thinking, Middleborough police tracked down and arrested 58-year-old Joseph Ridge shortly after the incident. Police said he has an extensive criminal record and was out on bail for an unrelated crime.
