MEMBER WARNING: A second recent attack on a MTAR REALTOR mem-ber has occurred in the Monteagle area, and currently no suspect has been ap-prehended. A female REALTOR was tending to a vacant foreclosure property when she was attacked from behind inside the house by a male suspect. Identi-fication of the attacker is pending. After beating her head into the wall to subdue her, he spun her around and attempted to yank at her jeans. She had the Ninja Spike tool in her jeans pocket, and she believes that when he felt that, he believed it was a gun and ran off. Though dazed and in-jured, she was saved by having the tool in her pocket. She is recovering, but wants all members to be safe, and aware, and pro-active. Inasmuch as the suspect has not been captured, you are advised to be particularly careful and very aware of your surroundings and be prepared. The other recent attack was on a male MTAR member from a male client in a domestic violence situation/transaction. Our member safety is paramount, and we want to help you protect yourself and others. If you would like a safety up-date for your office, please contact Candy for options and contacts. Additional-ly, your REALTOR Store has Ninja Spikes and other safety tools available to you.
