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

According to Duggan, the intruder was fleeing individuals related to a separate legal matter, leading him to seek refuge; the intruder reportedly pounded on multiple other doors before climbing over the Duggans’ fence and entering through their unlocked door. Duggan did not press charges when asked, letting the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Department apprehend the intruder.

Duggan released a statement thanking police and informed fans that he and his wife are safe.

“We would like to thank the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Department for their prompt and professional response last week,” Duggan posted, sharing his report of the encounter.

“A man who we had never seen before climbed our fence, ran through our yard to our front door, and was pounding on our glass doors.

“Before we could get to the door, he opened it and fell into our house. I held him at gunpoint while Debra called 911. We are safe with no damage. Thanks to everyone for the concern and well wishes!”

Wrestling fans showed Duggan some love after the scary ordeal.
