82 year old Venus Ramzey, Miss-America of 1944, heard her dogs raising a commotion near a barn on her property. Walking to the scene, she was confronted by four intruders.
The former foxey lady pulled a snub-nosed .38 special, whereupon three of them ran off. Ordering the last to stay where he was or be shot, she then called the police.
The perp was taken into custody by the authorities.
When asked what she would have done if he had moved, Venus stated she would have filled him full of holes.
Mrs. Ramzey is a semi-invalid, and moves about her property with the aid of a walker.
