Police dashcam video shows the man fleeing officers - but he couldn t get past Phyllis Pena.
She steps up to the fleeing suspect, wraps him in a bear hug and takes him down hard to the ground. It was a pretty good tackle, said Sgt. Roy Welch with the Lake Jackson Police Department.
The suspect has been identified as 19-year-old Zane Hawkins.
Pena said she caught Hawkins peeking through her daughter s window when she got home on the morning of Jan. 31. When she confronted him, he took off. That s when she called police.
