Dumb Criminals: Two Men Try To Rob House Of Professional Axe Thrower
A tomahawk-throwing champion who chased a burglar from her Hemet home said it took her everything she had not to throw the weapon at the man.
Robin Irvine awoke Sunday morning to find a man trying to steal a watch from her wrist while she slept, she said. She let out a scream -- and a string of profanity -- which startled the man, who took off.
“That’s what gave me time to grab ahold of it,” she told NBC, Channel 4 of the ax she keeps by her bedside table. “He ran down the hall and I was right behind him.”
She chased the man wearing only her underwear and a T-shirt, she said, adding that it took all she had not to throw the weapon, paralyzing him.
