“I guess he was kind of threatened by me, which is good,” she said.
And we thought Hillary Clinton was a tough lady. Carole Penzabene of Detroit, Michigan may be the most quotable woman in America right now.
Indeed, in a time in our history when CNN asks us if Brittney Spears is the most important cultural figure in the country this woman needs more publicity. Carole Penzabene noticed a strange man going in and out of her neighbors house. Ms. Penzabene knew her neighbor was out of town and called the police and then went to confront the man. From Detroit News 4:
“I grabbed him by the T-shirt and held my fist to his face. I was ready to kick his butt,” Carole Penzabene said after she thwarted the attempted robbery.
Police responded to a Madison Heights home in the area of 12 Mile and Dequindre roads around 11 p.m. Wednesday to find a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman pinned to the ground by Penzabene.
When Penzabene approached the man, he told her he was in the neighborhood looking at birdhouses.”So I grabbed him up and told him he ain’t going to be going nowhere,” Penzabene recounted.
“Then his girlfriend came out, and I grabbed her up and said, ‘Both of you ain’t going nowhere.’”In the meantime, Penzabene’s friend called the Madison Heights police.The man attempted to hit Penzabene as she was holding him down, but she was able to grab the female suspect.
She told the man, “Go ahead coward, hit me.”Penzabene said the man started crying. “I guess he was kind of threatened by me, which is good,” she said.Penzabene was able to subdue both suspects until the police arrived.
Ms. Penzabene, you’re pure gold!
