Around 7 am on January 31, Phyllis Pena came back to her home in Lake Jackson, Texas from the grocery store to find an unexpected and unwelcome visitor reportedly looking into her 15-year-old daughter's window.

Since her daughter wasn't home at the time, Pena called the police and waited for them to show up. Before the perpetrator could flee, she took some pretty intense action to make sure he stayed put.

As the police pulled up to the scene, the man, identified as 19-year-old Zane Hawkins attempted to flee. Pena made sure that didn't happen.

She intercepted him and tackled him to the ground.

"First instinct was just to make sure he didn't go any further," she said.





Pena's daughter helped hold Hawkins until the police were able to properly detain him.

"The cop fist-bumped me and he was like, 'Hey, so I heard the Texans are looking for a new linebacker.'"





"It's not very often that somebody steps in and puts themselves in harm's way to assist in apprehending somebody," said Sgt. Roy Welch.

But Pena says she was just operating as any mom would.

"My kids are my life and just making sure I protect them."




Hawkins is facing charges including evading arrest and possession of a controlled substance.

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
