A quick trip to retrieve an item from the car quickly descended into a nightmare for a husband and wife after encountering an intruder.
BALTIMORE, MD — A quick run to the car descended into a nightmare for a husband and wife after a man recently snuck into their Morrell Park home, according to a report.
The Banner reported Kim Mills, 62, found a man at the bottom of her stairs not long after she'd stepped out to retrieve an item from her car. Mills quickly informed her 59-year-old husband, Anthony Mills, who was a retired Anne Arundel County Police officer.
Before police arrived on the scene, Mills' husband fought off the man, striking him with a hammer as the pair grappled one another. A group of young adults also intervened.
