A South Carolina man obsessed with WWE star Sonya Deville was arrested Sunday after he drove to Florida and broke into the wrestler's home armed with a knife, plastic zip ties, duct tape and mace, authorities said.
Phillip A. Thomas II, 24, had been planning for eight months to take the victim hostage, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Chad Chronister said Thomas "was clearly on a mission to inflict harm."
"Our deputies are unveiling the suspect's disturbing obsession with this homeowner who he had never met, but stalked on social media for years," Chronister said.

That makes me laugh! That wimp had the idea that he could best her in a fight! She'd have chewed him up and spat him out.

Reminds me of a couple of incidents involving British Middleweight/Super-Middleweight World Champion Boxer Nigel Benn.

A fearsome fighter, known for his knock out power and tenacious style.

First, some nut saw a drawing of a wanted man and thought the wanted man was Benn, and tried a Citizens' Arrest on him!

Then some other nutter stole a bag from Benn's airport trolley.
So Benn made a Citizens' Arrest on him!

For those who need reminding of Nigel Benn

I saw him v Chris Eubank at Old Trafford years ago.

It was that long ago it was live on ITV. My mum honestly said to me the next day "I didn't see you on the telly!"

Anyway, I digress, please continue...

unless he bought a gun and shot her.

That seemed not to be his intention, as he had no gun.
