"Atta boy, Noah!" Green Bay RB Herron Slugs Burgler

Green Bay Packers running back Noah Herron thwarted a break-in at his home on Friday night by slugging one of the intruders with a bed post, the Brown County Sheriff’s Department reported today.

Authorities went to Herron’s home at 11:19 p.m. Friday on a report of a burglary in progress, according to Chief Deputy John Gossage. Herron told police he heard glass breaking in the lower level of his home, and that an unknown number of people had entered. Herron hit the intruder who entered his bedroom with a post he’d unscrewed from his bed, Gossage said in a news release.

The intruder is still being hospitalized.
