Strange But True Cell Phone Stories

The one in which a grandmother fights off a Taser attack with her cell phone....

It sure makes sense that they call this great country of ours the Home of the Brave, considering what a grandmother from Speake, Alabama went through this past February. It appears that an intruder tried to force his way into the elderly woman's home, and, according to police, even tried to taser her in the process. The astounding part of the story is that she claims that she was tasered, but managed to use the cell phone she was carrying to fight him off. The reports are sketchy as to how the woman shrugged off a possible taser jolt and sent the criminal packing with nothing more than a mobile handset, but we can say that we see a WWE appearance in her near future for sure.
