"I am a full time Culinary Student at the Arts Institute of Houston. On February 10, 2004 I was on my way to Reliant Park because I had landed a job cooking at the Super Bowl.

As I was exiting off of 610 at the Kirby exit I blew out a tire. As I was changing it, a man approximately 6 foot, 220 pounds pulled behind my vehicle. He approached me and asked several times if I needed any help, and I repeatedly told him that I had it under control. He had alcohol on his breath and seemed to be getting annoyed with the fact that I did not need his help.

At this point I was beginning to feel uneasy of his presence. He started to reach and grabbed my arm and at this time I pulled out my 80,000 volt Mini Talon out of my pocket and stuck him once in the stomach and it stopped him. I stuck him a second time in the heart area and he fell to his knees and hit the concrete, face first.

While he was on the ground I struck him again in the back of the neck. Scared, I left the scene and then realized I needed to turn around and return. As I drove up a Police Officer and Paramedic Unit arrived too. The Paramedics brought him to with an ammonia vial. He was arrested for attempted assault.

As of this writing I have heard nothing more from this incident. Afraid for my own safety that day, I feel the Mini Talon Stun Gun possibly saved my life."
