Indiana residents take down alleged would-be robber during break-in.

[armalitesheepdog]

3.25am. He is lucky to be alive

 

[tmschuller]

He probably needs to learn to tie his shoes if he's falling down that much...

Pants?? Down around the knees.. that’s what them kids are wearing.. maybe fancy jammies if he was at Walmart

 

[BigRed]

My guess is that young Mr. Tyler thought he was going to a bible study meeting.

 

[littletommy]

That’s a real purty face you got there young fella, be a shame if something..:happened to it.

"Alleged would-be robber"
Seriously?
Was he Breaking In to Sell them a Vacuum Cleaner?

Until convicted yes alleged. If my some circumstance he was found not guilty or not prosecuted or found guilty of some lesser offense the newspaper could be sued.

There's a bit of an off flavor here. Not calling it rancid, but there's a funny smell.

Breaks in with TWO guns @ 3:25am, wearing a ski-mask to hide his face.
This particular place has THREE men (of which at least one was armed) in residence.

Don't get me wrong, he deserved every helping from that potluck. But my Spidey senses are saying that there's another part to this story that we haven't heard yet.

Two things not answered by the story: Were they even loaded/functional? And was he prepared to pull the trigger. Ive heard a lot of punks arent man enough to actually pull the trigger during one of these crimes. As soon as things go south they panic and freeze. (or give up)

Oh and "Well, officer, We started in our living room on the third floor. We wrestled with him and we stumbled out onto the landing. Unfortunately as the young man tried to stand up, he stepped backwards into the stairwell, lost his balance, and fell down all six flights of stairs."

That's the Amish way.

Reminds me of a certain young college student in Muncie who hit his girlfriend. Unfortunately for him, she was my cousin. She went home to another cousin's house, where she was staying. Once sure she was ok, the middle son drove over to the judgementally challenged lad's house and politely knocked on the door. When the hapless lad answered, middle son grabbed him by the front of his shirt, took two steps back, and tossed him down the stairs.

Allegedly.

Of course!

Probably showed up without pie

The story I read says the intruder got a shot off from the 2nd handgun he drew.

 

[bgcatty]

I just love happy endings!
Good for the intended victims.

 

[KokomoDave]

I was not there but got a replay from someone who showed up. The 3 utes contemplated sending this guy back to Merrillville in a pine box but...

 

[loudpedal]

Wow. I would hate to show up in the county lock up with my mug looking like that. He is going to get low marks for street cred. He might get a warmer welcome if he claims that “the police did did it when he wasn’t do nuthin.”

 

[Peacekeeper3073]

Now come on folks, didn't we all go to a friend's house in the middle of the night to play video games and drink hot chocolate while carrying to firearms when were 18? At some point some family member will be interviewed and tell how good of a person he is and that he attends church every Sunday and helps out at the local homeless shelter.

Much more likely needs to pull up those pants.
