CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers fullback Alex Armah didn't wrestle in high school or college, but he knew enough from watching television and defending himself against siblings to recently detain a man trying to break into his car.
"I wasn't trying to get physical with him, but he kept trying to run," Armah told ESPN by phone about the February 6 incident, which was first reported by the Charlotte Observer. "I had to put him in an arm bar so he'd stop moving until the cops got there."
The suspect, 32-year-old Daniel Cagle, was arrested by Charlotte Mecklenburg police on charges of attempted theft into a motor vehicle, according to the official report.
