WHITE CITY, Utah -- Police say a man held an intruder at bay with a grilling fork and steak knife until police arrived. But the suspect fled, only to be arrested after he was zapped with a Taser.

Unified police Lt. Don Hutson says the White City resident grabbed the barbecue implements when he found the intruder had entered through a basement window about 7:20 a.m. Tuesday.

The woman who owns the home called police just in time.

"Her boyfriend was downstairs, had confronted a male that had actually crept into their basement through a window," said Hutson. "Her boyfriend was holding him at bay with a large steak knife and fork."

Well Done.

Well, a well-seasoned cop will be grilling the perp before too long. The perp was foiled in his attempt to rob the place.

Well you can put a fork in him, this mans burglary days are done.

I'm sure direct heat on the perp forced a confession. He's toast.

It's too bad that the flames of the grill won't see him fried........
