News from all over - Dallas
Before Friday, Al Brewster was known as the owner of one of the city's oldest real estate companies and the largest billboard in Dallas. Now, he's also a proven crimefighter. He may be 87 years old, but Brewster wasn't about to let a burglar steal from his real estate office without a fight. "He was the mouse and I was the tiger," he said.
The business owner raced to his office with his wife at his side after a security alarm went off after midnight. Richard Earl Woodard was inside ransacking a closet where Brewster kept two hunting rifles. With a cane in hand, Brewster chased Woodard to a window that was broken when the burglar entered. "We were in a duel," Brewster said. "I don't know who was hitting who."
By the time it was over, the burglar was bruised, but okay. Brewster said, "The truth is, I didn't use good sense, but he was making off with all my guns, and that ticked me off."
