Four Indiana men who allegedly broke into a woman's home and confined her for hours to steal her stimulus check have been charged, police said.
Paul Blankenship, Phillip Guzman and Jacob Baughman, all of Lake Station, along with Christopher Henderson, of Hobart, were taken into custody Sunday after the woman reported she had been the victim of a crime, Lake Station Police Chief James Richardson said.
They were each charged Monday with burglary with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, criminal confinement while armed with a deadly weapon and burglary of a dwelling and residential break and enter, court records show.
At 5:51 a.m. Sunday, a woman went to the Lake Station Police Department and reported she was held against her will at her home for four hours by the suspects, all of whom she said she knew, according to police. The woman told police the suspects were aware she had received her stimulus check and intended to rob her.
She said she awoke when the men broke into her home around 1:30 a.m. One of the men immediately grabbed her phone to prevent her from calling 911 and another had a gun, she told police.
The men eventually left and told her not to go anywhere because they would be back, police said. Once she was sure they were gone, the woman told police she drove to the police station to report the crime. The suspects were located a short time after.

Probably a lot. The key is not to tell your friends when you’re getting it.
Well that’s a bizarre form of stimulus.
The key is to sleep next to a 12 ga shotgun and use when as$holes break in.
hope it was worth it. moron thugs.
They don’t look black but they don’t look very intelligent. They also look like they partake of drugs, probably meth.
LOL! That works even better! ;)
She should have left it in her street-side mailbox, behind that impenetrable wall of paper envelope where it would have been safe and secure. /sarc
And when they ARE stolen and cashed with fake ID’s, I wonder what recourse the victim has from the government?
Run of the mill good ol’ boys.

Very sad story. She was a young mother. What is wrong with some people?
One of my sons was laughing about that: It looks as if he was protecting himself from coronavirus during the burglary.
