WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. - A Williamson County woman fought off an intruder with a vacuum cleaner. She was desperate for help, waiting for almost 35 minutes for law enforcement to arrive.

The single mom described that 35 minutes like the scene of a horror movie as she watched a man walk from windows to doors doing anything to break in to her home.

It was a startling discovery that Robin Ribeiro made at 2 o'clock in the morning on Tuesday.

"I see a man at my door and Amber is up there and I go there is a man!" said Ribeiro.

But Ribeiro was even more shocked by what happened over the next 35 minutes. That's how long it took for her to get law enforcement to her house.

"I am saying the police 'where are they? Where are they?' And they say they are on their way, they're on their way," recalled Ribeiro.

I do. They come and take away the (former) criminal, although they leave the bloodstain.

There are many cleaning companies that specialize in crime scenes; however, they're quite expensive. That's why you have to sue the perp's Next of Kin in civil court.

Just so happens you CAN get a Mossberg 500 in .410 gauge !

Under $400 too ! Nice light noisemaker for the ladies, hardly any kick, easy to clean (the gun, not the mess).

Throw in a cleaning kit, and a bunch of shells, and you have yourself a nice little $500 insurance policy knowing YOU won’t be needing the 911 call....
