Green Bay Packers running back Noah Herron foiled a break-in at his home Friday night by hitting one of the intruders with a bedpost, the Green Bay Press Gazette reported.

According to the Wisconsin newspaper, Herron said he heard his doorbell ring at about 11:15 p.m. but didn't answer it because he was not expecting any guests. The running back then heard noises on his deck, breaking glass and two men enter his home, as was stated by the Brown County Sheriff's Chief Deputy, John Gossage, and in an affidavit filed with a search warrant.

Herron, who had unscrewed a post from his bed, hit an intruder who entered his bedroom. The Gazette reported that the injured intruder was hospitalized and was expected to recover.
