You’re Kidding, Right?
More details are coming to light regarding last month’s break-in at Don’s Guns involving two teenage twins with prior records.
According to Marion County Juvenile Judge Marilyn Moores the teens did have previous criminal records, but between the two of them had only been arrested five times this year, as opposed to 14. However what is even more shocking is that the reported break-in at Don’s Guns might not have even had to have happened.
Moores told me today the twins reportedly removed their home detention bracelets on July 11 and shortly afterwards a warrant was issued for their arrests. A Juvenile probation officer spotted them at a gas station two days before the break-in at Don’s Guns and tried to called Marion County Dispatch, however no one would pick up the phone. The probation officer then had to call a building deputy at the Juvenile detention center to come get the twins, but it was too late. They had gotten away.
By the way, the county dispatch is run by Sheriff Frank Anderson.
Moores says they are making changes to the system, which includes increased cooperation with IMPD as the two suspects may have been involved in other crimes.
