“An Arkansas mom took to Facebook over the weekend to post a stern warning for would-be burglars, complete with a photo of herself holding a shotgun.
Charlene Phillips, a single mother, was at her Jonesboro home Friday when a man selling cleaning products out of his backpack knocked on her door, KAIT-TV reported.
Phillips said that shortly after she began speaking with the man, she got the sense that he was trying to obtain personal information with his various questions. She then began to lie to throw the man off.
When the man reportedly asked for money, she refused, which angered the man, who then stormed off, Phillips told KAIT.
Later that evening, when Phillips was in bed, she said she awoke to the sound of men at her door trying to get inside. After calling the police, she grabbed her shotgun and barricaded herself and her son in her bedroom until authorities arrived.
Phillips was later informed that the alleged intruders woke some of her neighbors and their dogs and quickly left after the dogs began barking.
The event left the woman and her son shaken. “I don’t sleep well at all,” she told the local TV station. “My son, he has his own bed, his own room but he has been sleeping with me every night. I’m kind of sleeping with my door locked, closed.”
