Florida women disarm intruder with ham sandwich and rum
TAMPA, Florida (AP) - Confronted with an armed intruder in their
home, two women plied him with a ham sandwich and rum until he
became groggy and passed out.
Police arrived and arrested Alfred Joseph Sweet, 52, to end the
five-hour episode.
Cathy Ord, 60, and Rose Bucher, 63, said they tried to befriend
the man after he burst through their kitchen window with a
sawed-off shotgun Tuesday night.
They made him a sandwich, gave him a bottle of rum and suggested
he shower and shave so he could "sort of be disguised in his
getaway," Ord said.
"We just treated him with kindness," Bucher said.
She said she had offered Sweet cash and the keys to her
Cadillac, but he just sat with them, holding his gun. The intruder
never said what he wanted, the women said.
