Wanted Man hides in Detectives Attic
http://www.kplctv.com/global/story.asp?s=9696413
LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - Investigators say Trent Higginbotham has been wanted for months, with out-standing warrants for, contempt of court, and possession of stolen property. While traveling through Moss Bluff, Detective David Burnett recognized the wanted man, and attempted to pull him over.
"The detective called for backup to come and assist him to stop the vehicle. He was going to pull him over," says Sheriff, Tony Mancuso.
But before backup ever arrived, Higginbotham ditched his vehicle and took off on foot. Burnett says, the suspect put up a fight, and got away. After his altercation with the police, he found his way into an attic. He waited there for, around forty-five minutes, in a place he thought was the perfect hiding spot. Little did he know, the house belonged to detective, Eddie Curol and his wife, also employed by the Calcasieu Parish sheriff's office.
"I'm surprised he did not fall through the ceiling, as he walked around up there," says Curol.
After they discovered Higginbotham, he was reluctant to come down.
"They used several means to get the suspect to comply, and come down out of the attic. Eventually, they had to send a K-9 up in the attic and get the suspect down," says Sheriff, Tony Mancuso.
He had to go to the hospital to be treated for his bite wounds, but upon release, Higginbotham's headed to jail, on a long list of charges.
