one night last November we were called
00:00:01
to a residence near Madisonville where a
00:00:03
couple had awakened in the middle of the
00:00:04
night to find a man looming in their
00:00:05
doorway armed with two screwdrivers and
00:00:07
a plunger since it was an odd time of
00:00:09
day and since they had not called for
00:00:11
either a handyman or a plumber they
00:00:12
quickly arose from bed and ran him from
00:00:14
the house
00:00:16
he was not easily deterred however and
00:00:18
then went to the rear of their residence
00:00:19
where he began pounding on their patio
00:00:21
door with the plungers let me in
00:00:26
exactly but he had already left the
00:00:27
scene when we got there our deputies
00:00:29
found out throughout the area and found
00:00:31
that a number of other residents under
00:00:33
construction in the area had been
00:00:34
burglarized they also found a car that
00:00:36
was in a ditch
00:00:37
they ran the license plate to a man from
00:00:39
the Slidell area and in fact a few
00:00:40
minutes later located him walking down
00:00:42
the highway he was extremely intoxicated
00:00:44
he seemed unable to communicate or even
00:00:46
remember how he had come to be there
00:00:47
after the subject was arrested he was
00:00:49
booked with criminal damage trespassing
00:00:51
leaving the scene of an accident
00:00:51
burglary and of course carrying an
00:00:53
unregistered plunger
