From The Page: Blind homeowner captures intruder By Vic Ryckaert Posted: April 21 A blind homeowner used the wrestling skills he learned more than 30 years ago to overpower an intruder and hold the man at knifepoint until police arrived this morning. "I just kind of panicked and just kind of went crazy after that," Allan Kieta said. "I've wrestled all my life. My dad's a Marine; he taught me some stuff. You're thinking in your head all this survival stuff." An Indianapolis police official called it one of the most incredible tales of citizen self-defense that he's heard in years. "It's pretty remarkable for anyone that's blind to be able to defend themselves, let alone make an apprehension," Lt. Jeff Duhamell said. "To be able to grab this guy and hold him down until police got there is pretty remarkable."... ... Kieta, 49, who is legally blind, said he was the Kentucky high school wrestling champ for the 145-pound division in 1976. He used his skills and other self-defense tactics learned from his father to subdue the intruder. "I had him pinned in the laundry room and just kept pummeling," Kieta said, describing the pounding he gave the 25-year-old arrested by police. Kieta punched, kicked and grappled until the suspect became disoriented. Kieta said he grabbed him by the belt and dragged him into the kitchen. Kieta then found a kitchen knife and held it at the man's throat... ...Alvaro Castro, 25, was arrested on an initial charge of residential entry, Sgt. Matthew Mount said. Police say Castro denied trying to burglarize the home. Kieta said Castro also told him he was looking for his cat. "I go, 'Your cat? You're in my house!"' Kieta recalled. Kieta said he suffered swollen hands and a sore back, but no serious injuries.
