A dangerous intruder is arrested and a homeowner's brave actions are to thank.
Police say Rakeem Ash (pictured) punched a woman in the face and forced his way into her home in Slidell. The victim was able to grab a wooden club and beat Ash until he stopped.
When police arrived they say Ash became excited and started jumping around. He was arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment. He's being charged with home invasion and battery.
Authorities say he admitted to taking drugs prior to the incident and doesn't remember a thing.
