Yet another advantage to being a brass player

SEYMOUR (WATE) -- A Seymour woman used a musical instrument to scare away two men who broke into her home.

A Sevier County Sheriff's Office report said the victim who lives on Maryville Highway woke up to find two men in her home Saturday morning. Her child was asleep in the home.

Deputies said the woman used part of a brass musical instrument to hit one of the men. Both intruders fled.

She chased the men outside, got a license number and officers Gregory Todd Lawson and Billy Joe Price. They're both charged with aggravated burglary.

It couldn't immediately be determined what kind of instrument she used.

(I don't know why this did not copy onto the blog ... but a good story. I suppose if she were a percussionist they would have had their bells rung ... :)
