Demarcus Mathis grabbed a baseball bat and struck man in head.

ALBANY,GA. -- An Albany boy came home from school Tuesday afternoon and interrupted a burglary in progress. When the intruder reached for his pistol ten year old Demarcus Mathis grabbed a baseball bat and struck the man in the back and head. 

Demarcus’ older sister Lawanda said that Demarcus told the family that he has seen the man in the past loitering in the family’s back yard. 

Neighbor Johnny Reed remarked that he had “been here eleven years and never had this problem but lately in this part of the neighborhood people have been walking in the alleys and streets.”
