A Roman Catholic priest tackled a teenage boy he found rummaging through a church rectory Tuesday, foiling a theft attempt, police said. The intruder and another man escaped briefly. But police officers used a description by the Rev. Noah Casey to track and arrest them.
Casey confronted the intruders about 1:30 a.m. when he found them inside an office at the rectory of St. John's Catholic Church, across the street from the RCA Dome in downtown Indianapolis, police said.
"Once the individuals saw the priest, they attempted to get out through the window. One succeeded in doing that, but as the second individual tried to do that, the priest caught him and tackled him," said Capt. Doug Scheffel of Marion County Sheriff's Department.
