Don't Mess With Grandma

Four guys were trying to steal a 4-wheeler from a home in Ennis. Inside were two girls. Now, most girls would probably dial 9-1-1. Not these girls. Who needs the police? The girls called their 84-year-old grandma, who lives next door. Nell Tonick is a retired Dallas County deputy. Apparently she gets pretty ticked off when people try to steal from her grandkids. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Grandma ran next door and yelled at the men who were trying to load the 4-wheeler into the back of their van. The men jumped into their van and ran off. So Grandma jumped in her car and gave chase. Speeds during the chase got up to 60 m.p.h. before the van blew a tire and hit a tree. One man was pronounced dead at the scene. Two others were arrested on the spot. One guy got away, but you can be sure he'll think twice before messing with a senior citizen.
