HOUMA, LA Jan 11 2012 (AP) – Houma police say two alleged car burglars – one in a wheelchair – were arrested after they returned to their victim’s home to apologize.
The Courier reports that 50-year-old William Poindexter and 48-year-old Ernest Mart, both of Houma, were booked with simple burglary and held in lieu of $50,000 bond. A third man is wanted.
Police say they allegedly were taking a car radio from an SUV about 1 a.m. Monday when the owner saw them. They fled – one pushing another in a wheelchair.
