Elderly Woman Fights Off Intruder With Stick and Boiling Water

 A stick and a pot of boiling water were all an elderly Texas woman had to defend herself from an intruder and it turned out they were all she needed.

When a man broke into Lillie McClendon's home early Sunday and demanded money, the 83-year-old fought him off with the only weapons she had available.

"I got this stick. I had some sausage on the stove. I poured that water on him. I told him... 'what kind of momma you got that raised you up like this,'" McClendon said.

The man got away, but McClendon was unhurt.

UPDATED @ 9:52 PM

All officers are reported OK. The shooting scene, from UNCONFIRMED SOURCES, report the shooting involved law enforcement and the Billy Wayne Lomineck, who was wanted by Dale County Sheriff Department.

Reports are Lomineck forced officers to use deadly physical force. However UNCONFIRMED SOURCES report the suspect was shot in the arm. As we understand Lomineck injury is not life threatening.

Skipperville Rescue transported the suspect to Dale Medical Center. Ozark EMS was called to the scene to check the officers.

Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson is on the scene. I have not attempted to bother him because I can only imagine with only 19 deputies in the entire department he is wrapped up and does not need to be bothered. That is why information is from UNCONFIRMED but reliable sources throughout Dale County.

we will update as we get more information.

Authorities are looking for a Skipperville man wanted on felony sexual assault-related charges, including first-degree rape.

Dale County Sheriff’s Capt. Mason Bynum said deputies are looking for 50-year-old Billy Wayne Lomaneck.

“He is wanted for rape first and incest,” Bynum said. “We do have active warrants for him.”

Bynum said deputies have been looking for Lomaneck since Thursday when they obtained the warrants for his arrest. Bynum said the victim of the sexual related crime offenses was a female juvenile.

“It’s been an ongoing investigation since December, and Thursday we caught a big break in the case,” Bynum said. “We sent deputies to his house. He saw us coming and he fled on foot into the woods.”

Deputies attempted to arrest and capture Lomaneck at his home located on Dale County Road 70 in Skipperville.

“He lives in a very rural area almost to the Barbour County line, and it’s in some pretty dense woods,” Bynum said. “It’s pretty much his back yard, and he knows the area very well.”

Bynum also said deputies believe they found evidence in the woods where Lomaneck has been camping.

“We do think he’s trying to solicit outside help as far as food,” Bynum said. “If we find out anyone is helping him we’re going to charge them as well.”

Bynum also cautioned people against approaching Lomaneck calling him armed and dangerous. He said deputies believe Lomaneck to be armed with a pistol.

“He knows he’s wanted and he knows we’re looking for him,” Bynum said. “He did leave a note at the house that he was not going back to jail alive, so he is a very dangerous man.”

Bynum said Lomaneck has a prior felony conviction for third-degree burglary.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Billy Wayne Lomaneck can call Bynum of sheriff’s investigators Billy Crawford at 334-774-2335.
