A 75-year -old man who found an intruder in his Bastrop County home fatally stabbed him with a steak knife, the Bastrop County sheriff's office said Tuesday.
Marion Lee Hill , a longtime Cedar Creek resident and local business owner, came home Friday night to find a man, identified as 38-year- old Jonathon W. Jones , in his home, officials said. A struggle ensued in Hill's living room and then moved to the kitchen, where Hill grabbed a steak knife and stabbed Jones in his left arm and chest, officials said.
Hill's friends and neighbors in the community of Cedar Creek, about 12 miles southeast of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, expressed relief that Hill fought off the intruder, and at least one was not surprised.
"He's in pretty good shape," said friend Dwight Hamilton, 61, who says Hill runs a local bar, the Stumble In, as well as a construction business in the Cedar Creek area.
The sheriff's office said Tuesday that it considers the botched home invasion an isolated case and said there are no charges pending against Hill, who suffered several injuries to his face. The sheriff's office considers Hill's actions self-defense but will continue to investigate, said Sissy Jones, executive assistant to Sheriff Terry Pickering.
Hill could not be reached at his business, and no one answered the door Tuesday at his home, at the end of a gravel driveway in the 300 block of Lake View Drive. Neighbors said they were glad to hear it was an isolated incident.
"It's hard to believe that a 75-year-old overtook a 38-year-old," said Jasper Simpson, 68, who has lived a few doors down from Hill for 35 years.
Simpson said that although there have been drug problems in the area in the past, it's a relatively safe place to live.
The sheriff's office said they received a report of a burglary at Hill's residence at 11:16 p.m. Friday and learned while en route that the intruder had possibly been stabbed, officials said.
"Preliminary investigation indicates that this was a home invasion," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "Mr. Jones was inside the home prior to Mr. Hill's arrival. A struggle ensued, resulted in the death of Mr. Jones. An autopsy report revealed a fatal stab wound to the chest."
Hamilton, who has known Hill for about 10 years, said his friend has hosted a local chili cook-off at the Stumble In, which is on Texas 21. And last year, Hill, also a chili connoisseur, won first place in pork ribs for the Central Texas Tolbert Chili Group , said Hamilton, who co-founded the group.
"He's a good guy," Hamilton said.[/release]
:ese:
Wow, that's pretty badass. Kind of surprising he killed him with a single stab, too.
If he had a gun 1/3 of the people here would be raging.
Haha how embarassing it would be to get killed like that by a fucking 75 year old. God damn
What a fucking beast.
Imagine the guy up at the pearly gates
"How did you die?"
"Oh a guy about twice my age kicked the shit out of me while I was trying to rob him"
Not really the worlds balliest guy, but still awesome that he was able to fight that guy off.
Guess the thief didn't realize the steaks were high
Finally Texas news that isn't about the stupidity of someone.
Old man is badass :clint:

I know man what the fuck, you don't just attack someone just cause they're in your house without permission, and you shouldn't hurt them AT ALL even if they are trying to steal the carpet from under your feet, he may just need some help and he's lashing out in anger at society.
That thread got far too many serious replies, it made no fucking sense, it was like like every troll victim ever saw red and went ape shit.
What happened to Craptasket?

Elderly folk need home defence, not all of em are as awesome as this old dude to carve some bitch up with a steak knife.
Hunting as well, mind you I'd rather try bow hunting.
Represent, awesome old man.
Represent.
Man of the year.
I wonder if he has had any combat experience.

It isn't cited anywhere but this man went into Nazi Germany during WW2 and singlehandedly destroyed the German war machine with assorted steak knives.
It's not fair, he had commando on!

I wish he had a gun and killed that motherfucker execution style.
That's not far from where I live. This story doesn't surprise me at all, I wouldn't want to fuck with any of the old people around here.
