‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan Tackles & Detains Armed Home Invader

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan hasn’t been in a wrestling ring for nearly four years, and WWE programming for over a decade. Recently, one person recently learned the hard way that the WWE Hall of Famer is not to be messed with.

In an exclusive interview with Wrestling Inc., Duggan explained that his home was broken into by an intruder on Thursday, December 8th around 6:45 p.m. and a man in his mid-20s, entered the front door of his South Carolina home. Duggan claimed he took the man down by grabbing his .44 caliber pistol and holding the intruder at gunpoint.

Duggan and his wife, Debra, went into detail that after the man entered, other people yelled in their neighborhood. Duggan had his Christmas lights turned off and told the intruder to be quiet and concerned that more people might be headed his way. According to the Duggans, the intruder was described as hysterically frightened and claimed that people from a nearby home were coming to kill him, while Duggan kept his gun on his lap and his hand on the intruder’s back until the police arrived.

The intruder was fleeing individuals related to a different legal matter, having him seek refuge. According to Duggan, the intruder knocked on many doors before climbing over the Duggans’ fence and entering through their unlocked door. Duggan didn’t press charges, but he let the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Department apprehend the intruder. 

“Thank God we didn’t shoot him,” Duggan said.

That is quite a wild story to come out of this whole ordeal between the Duggans and the intruder. Luckily, everything worked out in the end, and everyone knows to not mess with a pro wrestler of any kind when trying to break into his or her home. This only adds to a list of similar stories from the past.
