Stranger than Fiction!

--Portland, Oregon (click the title of this post for the complete article)

A naked man fled the home he broke into Tuesday morning after the woman who lives there defended herself by attacking his genitals, police said. Officers arrested Michael Dick, 46, on charges of burglary, harassment and private indecency. Officials with the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said Dick, who was completely naked, entered the house through an unlocked sliding door at about 6:30 a.m. and pushed the 88-year-old woman face-first into a chair.

The victim was definitely shaken up, but luckily she is OK and unharmed. She said an old news story she saw years ago helped her defend herself.

“I was thinking, 'Oh, this couldn’t be happening to me,'” the victim said.

She said she was picking up some logs for her wood stove, when all of a sudden a completely naked stranger walked in through her sliding glass door.

“I thought it was somebody I knew, but then seeing him without clothing, you know, it’s nobody I knew,” she said.

Police said he shoved her face-first into a chair, but before he could make another move, she fought back.

“I kept saying, 'No, no, no!' And then I said, 'Holy mother!' And then I said, 'God.' And then he stopped and that’s when I reached around and grabbed him,” she said.

In that moment, she said she flashed back to an old news story about a woman facing a similar intruder. She remembered that woman survived by grabbing the man’s testicles.

The man tore free, ran out the door, jumped in his car and drove away, deputies said.

Police said a Multnomah County code enforcement officer was in the area when the call came over his radio, so he parked and took down the license plate information of two cars that drove by that could have been related to the burglary.

The license plate information led Troutdale officers to Dick's car, which was still in the area, and after interviewing Dick, they arrested him. Police said further charges against Dick are pending.

-- The man's name is Dick? Oy! And that when she saw Dick naked, she realized it was nobody she knew? Priceless! That's how I remember guys. Not by how they look with their clothes on!
