MOM’S FLYING TACKLE GROUNDS PEEPING TOM

-

APATHETIC peeping tom ran into a world of hurt when the Texas mom of the 15-year-old he was allegedly spying on tackled him with an NFL-caliber takedown!

Phyllis Pena said she was returning from early-morning errands when she saw a man peeking into the bedroom window of her teenage daughter.

“My kids are my life,” the outraged mom explained of her action-hero antics.

The suspect ran off when she called cops — but he doubled back and headed straight for Phyllis, who had some moves in her playbook! Her flying tackle was captured in action-packed footage from the dash cam of arriving officers. Her daughter also rushed from the house and joined Phyllis in pinning the suspect. Zane Hawkins, 19, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, evading arrest and resisting arrest. He remains in Brazoria County Jail in lieu of a $15,000 bond.

“The cop fist-bumped me and he was like, ‘Hey, so I heard the Houston Texans are looking for a new linebacker,’” said Phyllis.

Sgt. Roy Welch of the Lake Jackson Police said the tackle was both impressive and unusual.

“It’s not very often we have somebody that actually steps in, puts themselves in harm’s way to assist in apprehendi­ng somebody,” said Welch.
