82-year old Bill "Weg" Green helped the police bring a man to justice using nothing but pen and paper. Green, who has made his living drawing caricatures of football stars, said he rushed outside after hearing the swears and curses of a man who had broken into his house, and was attempting to steal Green's grandson's bicycle.
Green approached the intruder, however "He tried to brush me aside, him being much bigger than me. I thought if I got into a fight, I'd lose my dressing gown and I'd end up starkers." Truer words were never spoken.
After the police arrived Green quickly reached for his pad and pen, claiming he remembered the face of the intruder well enough to draw a picture for the police. It turned out, he was right. The police picked up the burglar 15 min. later for an unrelated crime, the drawing Green provided was so accurate the police were able to charge the man for burglary, theft, and unlawful assault.
