KINGSPORT, Tenn. -- An 83-year-old woman fought with an intruder in her home and fired two shots at him before he fled with her gun and purse.
Mark Foulk, 44, of Fall Branch, was pulled over by a Sullivan County Sheriff's deputy about 20 minutes later and charged with DUI and speeding.
Authorities at the jail found glass in his pockets and cuts on his hands and a gun and purse in his car. He was then charged with robbery and aggravated burglary.
An intruder broke into the house of Clara Groseclose early Tuesday. She heard a noise downstairs, retrieved a handgun and went to check on it.
Groseclose encountered a man near a broken window, and he demanded money, police said.
She struggled with the man and fired two rounds at him. Police said Foulk had an abrasion on his face that could have come from the muzzle of the gun when it was fired.
The man took Groseclose's gun and purse and fled.
She had a minor cut on her knee from the struggle but was not seriously injured.
