PORTLAND, Ore. -- A southeast Portland man said he wasn’t dressed for a confrontation with a home intruder last Thursday.

Craig Grover said he and his wife were sleeping Thursday night when they heard someone enter through their front door.

Grover said he went into the kitchen to investigate, and that he didn’t take the time to get dressed.

“I was 100 percent nude. I approached him from behind and we fought in the kitchen. I didn’t have clothes on whatsoever,” said Grover.

While Grover fought with the intruder, his wife called 911, saying, “He was naked. We were in bed asleep and he came into our house.”

Grover said the karate lessons he has taken helped him take down the intruder and hold him captive in the front yard until Portland police officers arrived.

Police arrested Allen Snyder and charged him with trespassing and criminal mischief. But the homeowner said he doesn’t think that is enough.

“He fought me. He fought me inside my house. He broke down my door,” said Grover. “I was fighting scared. I was afraid of him hurting me the whole time.”

Grover is organizing a neighborhood watch group and said his martial arts instructor is going to hold a free martial arts self-defense training course for adults and children in the neighborhood.
