He'd caught two thieves trying to steal his quad bike, so he tied them up and brought them to the police station.

The farmer was then arrested for suspicion of false imprisonment.

Apologies for the crappy local news site.

How did he even do this? How do you overpower two people and do it for long enough that you can tie them up?

Pissed off farmers are often ludicrously strong, and well, pissed off.

Yeah, but against two guys? How do you even find the time to tie up the first one?

I'm sure he worked alone, and any charges by the police are his alone.
Anybody else on the farm was sound asleep at the time.
