Former wrestler, 63, takes down robber in Boynton Beach
BOYNTON BEACH— Fred Kemp and his wife had just finished dinner Thursday night. As they walked out of the restaurant, a man came out of the darkness, demanding money.

But this robber picked the wrong guy. Turns out 63-year-old Fred Kemp, is a former wrestler.

He and his wife, Julie, had just eaten at Hurricane Alley, in the 500 block of East Ocean Avenue. It was about 9:15 p.m., and they were getting into their car, which was parked nearby on the street.

Seated on the passenger's side, Kemp was closing the door of his 2011 Volkswagen Jetta when the robber, identified as Richard Nowling, 41, stuck a gun in his face.

2. Especially when it's a pellet gun
"Hand over the money, or I'm going to give you a red welt."

"Stop breathing."

"Or else what?"

"No or else. Just stop breathing."
