Hoodlums who burglarized home of dead Marine are arrested |
2002-02-11 |
According to a probable cause affidavit, Jordan admitted after his arrest on Tuesday that he drove to Winters' home on Jan. 25 and dropped off Banks and a juvenile, whom he said then burglarized the home. During the burglary, which the family discovered after returning from Jeannette Winters' funeral services, two revolvers and a shotgun were taken from the elder Winters' home. The next day, Banks told a man he had helped burglarize the home of ''the Marine girl''. If convicted, each man could face a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. The Post-Tribune of Merrillville reported that at the time of the Winters burglary, Banks was out of jail on bond for a December, 2000, home invasion incident in Gary. He had been released after a judge lowered his bond to $3,000. Some crimes are understandable. Others, the words "rat bastards" springs to mind and just kinda blanks out any other thought. |
