Simmons says his family was pulling up to their home on East Jefferson Street on Saturday night. They had just returned from watching a UFC fight.

They were in the driveway when a man came up and started pounding on the back window of their SUV. Then, the suspect tried opening the back door where Simmon's sons - a newborn and 2 year old-- were sleeping. Fortunately, the door was locked.

Simmons, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hopped out and tried to stop the guy. His wife, who was driving, called 911.
