JASPER, Indiana - In an incredible coincidence of timing, a fleeingburglar took a giant leap of faith and landed right in
the long arms of the law, literally. Trent Carie, 21,
was inside the Main Street Restaurant & Bar when a
passing police officer spotted him and suspected a
robbery was underway. According to Sgt. Mike Fowler,
Carie ran from the store and jumped over a tall fence
only to land in the arms of another officer and a
trooper who had just arrived at the scene. Carie is
believed to be the culprit of at least a dozen
burglaries of several businesses in the area in recent
weeks.
