Panthers FB Alex Armah Used Arm Bar to Detain Man Who Broke Into His Car

Carolina Panthers fullback Alex Armah says he used an arm-bar wrestling move to detain a man trying to break into his car, the Charlotte Observer's Jourdan Rodrigue reported on Tuesday.

According to Rodrigue, the incident occurred on Feb. 6 at Armah's complex in Charlotte. Daniel Cagle, the 32-year-old suspect, was arrested on charges of attempting to break into or enter a motor vehicle.

Armah was reportedly working out in his apartment when he received an alert by the OWL dashboard camera he had installed in his car that someone was trying to break in.

"I wasn't trying to get physical with him, but he kept trying to run," Armah told ESPN by phone.
