93 Year Old Man Gets Even With Attacker

It is reported that a 93 year old man by the name of Willie Hill told police that he saw a robber while he was in his bedroom. Willie confronted the robber and ended up getting hit at least 50 times and getting knocked out. After Willie gained his consciousness, he pulled out a .38-caliber handgun on the robber. After the robber saw the handgun he tried to attack Willie but he fired one round which ended up hitting the robber in the throat.

When paramedics arrived, they took Willie and the robber to the Medical Center of South Arkansas to be treated. The doctors later sent the robber to the Louisiana State University Medical Center at Shreveport, where he was listed in critical condition.

Officers found a set a keys, two hearing aids, a CD player, an MP3 player, a Craftsman drill bit set and three pocket knives inside the robber's pockets. Police plan to charge the robber with residential burglary, second-degree battery, theft of property and theft by receiving.

ATM Gives Out Too Much Money

It is reported that an ATM at a Louisiana truck stop gave out $20 bills instead of $5 bills but authorities know who used it and plan to get back the extra $7,000 that it gave out.

The supervisor at the truck stop unplugged the machine after she heard that it was giving out too much money but the next morning she found that someone had plugged it back in. She says that she thinks someone who didn't work at the truck stop had rigged the machine to give out too much money but the ATM keeps track of who uses it. Charges could be brought against the people who got excess money from the machine.
