WWE Hall of Famer ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan is certainly one of the legends of pro wrestling. Jim revealed that he dealt with a recent home invasion and now he finally released a statement regarding the incident.
Duggan’s home was broken into by an intruder back on Thursday, December 8th around 6:45 p.m. A man in his mid-20s, entered the front door of Jim’s South Carolina home and he took the man down by grabbing his .44 caliber pistol and holding the intruder at gunpoint.
Duggan and his wife, Debra, went into detail that after the man entered, other people yelled in their neighborhood. Duggan had his Christmas lights turned off and told the intruder to be quiet and concerned that more people might be headed his way. According to the Duggans, the intruder was described as hysterically frightened and claimed that people from a nearby home were coming to kill him, while Duggan kept his gun on his lap and his hand on the intruder’s back until the police arrived.
Jim Duggan thanks his fans
Duggan took to Instagram and uploaded a post, where he thanked fans for all the support after they reached out to him after hearing about the story.
“We would like to thank the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Department for their prompt and professional response last week. A man who we had never seen before climbed our fence, ran through our yard to our front door, and was pounding on our glass doors. Before we could get to the door, he opened it and fell into our house. I held him at gunpoint while Debra called 911. We are safe with no damage. Thanks to everyone for the concern and well wishes!”
