PORTLAND, Ore. - The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said an 88-year-old woman fended off a naked intruder by grabbing the man's crotch and squeezing.

Deputy Paul McRedmond said the man got into the house Tuesday through a sliding door. He backed the woman into her living room and pushed her face down onto a chair.

That's when the woman reached behind and squeezed. The man tore free and fled.

Troutdale police arrested a 46-year-old man after a code enforcement officer got a license plate from a car in the area. A suspect has been jailed on accusations of burglary, harassment and private indecency. Bail was set at $110,000.

"Good for her", my wife was quick to add.
