Car Versus Garage

...and basketball hoop, and back stairs.

William Foley, 17, was in his house playing Call of Duty last night about 9 when he heard something a heck of a lot louder than the sound effects of the war game.

"I thought an 18-wheeler smashed into a house or something," he said.

Close.

As you can see above, it was actually a Jeep, and it had actually smashed into the basketball hoop in the driveway of Foley's house, and then the garage next to his house, and then the back stairs of his house.

Foley's mom had just left for work. Besides William, she has kids who are 20, 12, and 8, and a babysitter was at the house to keep an eye on the younger kids.

William and the babysitter ran outside just in time to see a whilte male dressed in black bolt down the street toward the swamp at the end of Melrose.

About 5 minutes later, Canine Officer Todd Donaldson found the guy pictured below in the swamp. He was arrested, but he hasn't been booked yet so I'll have to add his name to this entry later.

So far he is only charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Police say he matches the description of the person who fled the Jeep, but officers are still investigating to make sure that's the case.
