Packers Running Back Knocks Out Burglar with Bedpost

Posted Jun 4th 2008 5:00PM by Quibian Salazar-Moreno
Filed under: Casually Obsessed


If you ever make your way to Green Bay, Wisconsin, one cat you wouldn't want to step to is Packers running back Noah Herron. You might end up with a bedpost upside your head. Last Friday, Herron called 911 when he heard glass breaking on the lower level of his house in Green Bay. He told police that an unknown number of people entered his house. Herron unscrewed one of his bedposts from his bed and when one of the intruders tried to enter his bedroom, he took the bedpost to his dome.
The burglar was taken to the hospital and police arrested a second suspect outside of Herron's house.

"Noah Herron used necessary, reasonable and justifiable force in protecting his life and property,'' Brown County Sheriff Dennis Kocken said in a statement. "Herron, the victim in this random home invasion, is cooperating with law enforcement.''

1. All I can say is ...Look at the size of his neck!!!! Whoa, that's serious. There's something unnatural about the way his head and neck fits on his body. That's a scary site. He's handsome, but scary looking at the same time.

LAWDHAVMURCY at 8:55PM on Jun 6th 2008

Randolph Johnson at 8:24AM on Jun 8th 2008

7. Fine and fierce...HEY NOW! That crook had it comin and he got his..ooops upside your head. I hope my husband could do the same if, God forbide, we had a home invasion.

8. Quick thinking saved his life no doubt. This story could've been written a whole different way if it wasn't for his decisivness!! I still got to say, "GO PATRIOTST" though...lol

TeamKLI at 9:30AM on Jun 8th 2008

9. I mean "PATRIOTS"

TeamKLI at 9:33AM on Jun 8th 2008

10. Now if that was Broke Bitter Brotha; I would have beat the living hell out of that fool. As broke as I am, someone got the nerve to break into Bitter Brotha's home! WOW! I'm so mad I'm gonna go outside an slap somebody!!!!!!!

Broke Bitter Brotha at 10:12AM on Jun 8th 2008

11. Good for him I whish he would have shot that stupid ass.

Brian at 11:29AM on Jun 8th 2008

12. HEY, YOU GOTTA DEFEND YOURSELF AT ANY COST ESPECIALLY YOUR OWN LIFE. I MEAN, HE WHACKED SOME DUMBASS UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH A BEDPOST...THAT WAS FUNNY AS HELL! NEXT TIME HE SHOULD GET MORE WEAPONS ADDED TO HIS ARSONAL(STEEL CLUB, A BAT, SLEDGEHAMMER) OR A GUN TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. I COMMEND HIM FOR HOLDIN IT DOWN AT HIS CRIB. THEY SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE THEY ROB ANYBODY'S HOME.

13. Served the clown right - now when he wakes up with Bubba's arms around him, he will know that the last thing he should do is complain of a headache - he will get a pain someplace else....

jailhousedoc at 9:31PM on Jun 8th 2008

14. OK, NO DISRESPECT, AS MUCH AS I LIKE SEAN TAYLOR. HE COULD'VE HAD A GUN INSTEAD OF A KNIFE, YAH KNO. THAT WAY HIS LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. BUT TO NOAH HERRON ALL I GOTTA SAY IS: U ARE ONE LUCKY SON OF A BITCH.

BABYGURL at 11:22PM on Jun 8th 2008

15. I'm lovin' this story! Herron did what he was supposed to do to protect his. But since our bed posts don't unscrew, I prefer my 9mm anyway. I'm a peaceful person by nature, and I pondered long and hard about buying a weapon, but in these times you better have something because the police can't protect you, and you're living in la-la land if you believe they can. I would hate it if I had to kill someone - that's just not me - but I'm not going to be just another helpless statistic either.The yellow tape around my home won't be for me - but for whoever kicks in my door, or steps through one of my windows. And I'm not firing to wound - I'm firing for vitals -I don't want to see this same perp after he recovers and tries again.You go Herron - but get you some power for next time - not a bed post.
