> SOUTHERN INDIANA —
The U.S. Marshals have become involved in the search for a New Albany man allegedly caught in the act of burglarizing a Borden house.
Christopher Paul Brown, 25, was charged Thursday with class B felony burglary and class D felony resisting law enforcement.
Borden Town Marshal Jerry Crotchett was on regular patrol when he passed a house in the 100 block of Brewer Drive. Crotchett noticed a silver Cadillac in the driveway, similar in description to one that had been used in a Clark County burglary last week.
Crotchett knew the owners of the house and called them to ask if anyone should be there. About the time he was told no one was authorized to be at the house, he witnessed a man exit the house, jump in the Cadillac and drive off.
A high-speed pursuit continued on Ind. 60 and eventually to Charlestown Road in New Albany. Floyd County Sheriff’s Department officers and Indiana State Police troopers picked up the pursuit. ISP eventually called off the pursuit as it entered a busy traffic area.
The abandoned Cadillac was later discovered with a jewelry box inside. Crotchett identified Brown from a prior arrest photo police had pulled up based on the vehicle information.
Brown is listed as a white male 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 205 pounds. His residence is listed as the 1100 block of Beeler Street. Crotchett said he was contacted Friday by the U.S. Marshals who were searching in New Albany for Brown.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call local law enforcement or ISP at 812-246-5424.
