Police Dash Cam Catches Mom Tackling Suspect After He Ran Away From Officers
Tackling is an art form and this mother in Texas is an artist.
After coming home from the store at 7 AM to find a man peeking in her teenage daughter's window, Phyllis Pena called the police. Cops showed up and caught the 19-year-old man, but he got away from them. That's when he made the mistake of running towards Pena, who sized him up and made an incredible open-field tackle.

What a textbook hit. She cut off the angle, wrapped him up and took him down. Via Click2Houston:
"“The cop fist-bumped me and he was like, ‘Hey, so I heard the Texans are looking for a new linebacker,’” Pena said."
It's fun to joke, but Jack Easterby is probably already hard at work trying to run her out of town.
