Kenosha homeowner, who happens to coach high school wrestling, reportedly thwarted a burglary attempt last week by hogtying the suspect with a garden hose.
Jerril Grover was in his basement Friday morning when he heard a noise outside his window and found someone hanging halfway inside a bedroom window after he went upstairs, the Kenosha News reported.
Grover told police that he smashed a vase over the man's head, pushed him back out of the window and then tied him up in the backyard with a garden hose.
Police said it turns out the man, 22-year-old Philip Tabili of Kenosha, also had entered Grover's car and taken money.
Grover told WISN-TV that he's the head wrestling coach at Bradford High School and the Kenosha girls wrestling coach, adding that his adrenaline kicked in during the incident. He said that after hogtying Tabili, he laid on top of him until police arrived.
Tabili was taken to jail and is charged with burglary, theft and disorderly conduct.

Dumbass picked the wrong house to burglarize...

That’s all very well and good, but....
He shoulda just reached for his weapon of choice - and shot the bastid.
He did, his weapon of choice just happened to be a vase. Who are we to judge?
We need vase control NOW!
Too many young lives are being cut short by the uncontrolled use of vases.
I sure hope we don’t read next about the school district suspending the coach for the use of violence!
Just wait until those assault vases are loose on the streets.
LOL, when a wrestling coach lays on top of someone, they're generally occupied in twisting limbs and joints in directions they don't normally go. I'll bet by the time the cops arrived the perp was begging to be taken to jail.
It’s time to make a Federal law, or even an amendment, that gives the Death Penalty to anyone who breaks into your home.
We’ll need it if the extreme idiots even pass the “Ghetto Everywhere Bill”
Score another point for civilization!
He must have one of those flexible garden hoses. My rubber one would have been useless.
I recall a story a while ago that was about dude that was a wrestling coach... for a High School girls’ wrestling team. I thought that was the weirdest thing ever... that there would be a girls’ wrestling team, let alone one coached by a 25 year-old guy, but I came to find out that it’s not exactly rare that high schools have girls wrestling. I am told that there are some really fine technical wrestlers and because their weight distribution is different than the boys that they actually had several advantages over the boys.
