A Hilltop man took a knock on his head but managed to turn the tables on two armed robbers, including firing several shotgun blasts at them.

Roger Maynard said he was watching the end of Monday Night Football about 10:30 p.m. when two men burst through his front door at 235 N. Wayne Ave. and demanded money and drugs. Maynard said he had neither.

Maynard, 55, punched one robber in the face. The robber knocked Maynard to the floor with the butt of a shotgun, then held the gun on Maynard and his oldest daughter, Helen Wise, who had armed herself with a baseball bat when she heard the commotion.

The second robber took the bat and swung it around as a weapon while he looked for loot.

Two of Maynard's four granddaughters, his wife, and his other adult daughter, Melissa Maynard, were upstairs. His son-in-law, Jeff Wise, was downstairs with two of the girls hiding in a closet.
