It could go very badly. Fortunately, more fear than harm for Gayle Benson, widow of Tom Benson, who became owner of the New Orleans Pelicans after the death of her husband. A week ago, she experienced one of the scares of her life in the middle of the night. While she was occupying her vehicle, a white Nissan pulled up near her and an individual rushed into his car to steal from her. An attempt at car-jacking confirmed by the spokesperson for the Saints, NFL franchise of which she is also the head, relayed by ESPN.
“Although Mrs. Benson was very shocked by this incident, she was not injured and she is fine. She wanted to thank the New Orleans city police officers who responded very quickly and professionally to her call. We cannot say more since the investigation is still ongoing. “
Gayle Benson ordered the thief to leave his vehicle. And the latter did so before fleeing in the white Nissan. She was clearly lucky. This kind of incident sometimes ends in drama. The main thing is that no one was hurt, of course.
