Investigators said Gregory McCalium, 23, was armed with a knife when he entered the home of Frank Corti, 72, and his wife Margaret, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday. Advertisement Corti dodged McCalium's blade and punched him twice in the face, sending the burglar to the ground. The former boxer then restrained the burglar until police arrived. Judge Angela Morris of Oxford Crown Court told McCalium at his sentencing that he "got what you deserved." "The elderly and vulnerable people are entitled to demand the protection of courts from people like you who decide to take matters into your own hands and enter a property with a weapon," she said. McCalium was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison for aggravated burglary.
