Quickly thinking, Williams seized the nearest available weapon, a frying pan. He confronted the intruder as they both ran down the stairs.

As I process the events, I am amazed at how Williams confronted the intruder, standing his ground and refusing to let fear dictate his actions.

Security cameras captured the intruder fleeing the house as Williams, wielding the frying pan, chased after them.

Williams told ABC 7 in Chicago, "This could have had a different ending, and I'm glad it had a good one. My wife's not happy about the decision I made... I probably wouldn't do it again, but it is what it is."

However, it's still unclear whether criminal charges have been brought against them. I wonder if we'll hear something on "fry" day?
