A homeowner unknowingly drove the getaway car for the man that burglarized his house. It was a pretty smooth trick played by the burglar – until he ended up caught.
Papa Bear came home and saw Goldilocks sitting in his chair. Wait, no. That’s a different story …
Crazy End to a Crazy Day for Tarbox and Homeowner
The homeowner then called the police, who ended up piecing together the entire scenario. As it turns out, Tarbox had allegedly stolen a vehicle in Portland, and then ran out of gas in Hollis. Tarbox then stole another vehicle, but crashed it in the woods. According to York County Sheriff Bill King, Tarbox then “walked to the caller’s home, broke in through the rear door, had a bite to eat, showered and watched a little television before being confronted by the rightful tenant of the property.” The homeowner had driven Tarbox to a relatives’ house, and one of Tarbox’s relatives told investigators exactly where to find him. Tarbox was subsequently arrested, still in the homeowner’s clothes. Talk about seeing a crime through to the very end, no matter what!
Tarbox was arraigned on one count of burglary, two counts of unauthorized use of property, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, and theft by unauthorized taking.
