MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. -- A quick-thinking teenager who took matters into her own hands when an intruder allegedly burst into her Massachusetts home."Somebody just tried to break into my house," 14-year-old Avery Cormier told a 911 operator."And I'm all alone."

She found two steak knives and went straight after the trespasser.The intruder, startled, ran out, but not before Cormier took out her phone and recorded a video of the suspect vehicle leaving the property, capturing his license plate number. Thanks to that recording and Cormier's quick thinking, Middleborough police tracked down and arrested 58-year-old Joseph Ridge shortly after the incident. Police said he has an extensive criminal record and was out on bail for an unrelated crime.
