When alleged gang members targeted their Honda CR-V one October evening, two Milwaukee retirees sprang into action. Now the couple is credited with helping police nab a crew of suspected carjackers.
But as they drove to the valet parking stand, they soon learned a band of wanted car thieves was right behind them. Ben-Shalom, 68, told cops she was fetching Weisss walker from the trunk when she spotted the valet attendant on the ground, struggling to push a teenage attacker off him.
So the Army veteran and renowned lesbian activist tackled the alleged thief, 50 years her junior, and pinned him to the pavement.
I stood up and put the toe of my boot in a socially significant place, Ben-Shalom told The Daily Beast. I told him if he tried to move or do anything, he would walk very funny for the rest of his life and pee through a tube.
