Man Fends Off Home Invasion with Coffee Cup!

Here is an interesting story to say the least…

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Police in one southwestern Pennsylvania township don’t know who tried to break into a man’s home early Saturday — but they say the suspect should have one identifying mark for the next few days: a gash in his forehead, courtesy of being smashed by the homeowner’s ceramic coffee mug.

South Strabane police tell the Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. that a man in his 30s or 40s broke into the home about 11 a.m.

Police say the burglar pulled a knife on the homeowner, who police are not identifying. When the men struggled, the homeowner split the burglar’s forehead with the mug and he ran away.

Detective John Bruner expects the burglar, and whoever was driving a car he hopped into, were looking for jewelry or other items to be pawned for drug money.
