While barbecuing some chicken a man heard the cries of a seven year old boy for help. He went to investigate and found a teen-aged boy raping the younger boy. He yelled to his mom to call the police, which she did, and then he punched the pervert in the face, wrestled with him and held him down.

His mom came along and stuck the barbecue fork in his butt for good measure.

An outdoor barbeque became a rescue mission this weekend when John Jennings heard cries for help coming from a young boy behind his house. Jennings and his mom showed FOX 4’s Saul Garza how they used whatever was at hand to stop a suspected rapist in his tracks until police arrived.

“Since he was down, I took the fork and stuck him and I told him, ‘Don’t you move,’” recalled Linda Rhodes. “He was struggling and I got mad and I stuck him again. I grabbed his belt and tied it around his legs and I pulled the belt tight so he couldn’t move. I took my foot and put it on him and said, ‘Don’t you move!’”

They held the suspect, 17-year-old Deshaun Ridge, until police arrived and make the arrest.

“They were citizens that jumped in, most definitely, and did a good deed,” said Joe Harn, spokesman for the Garland Police Department. “These people are heroes.”

“I stuck him in his butt!” Linda said, adding in a joking manner that the when she stuck him, the suspect was “done.”

“Yes, he was well done,” she laughed.
