Wonder if SP adhered to the fishing rules and regulations. The maximum number of sturgeon that one could catch was 1. Also has anyone heard if Scott paid the $4.00 fee for fishing there. Do they give you a receipt for that $4.00 or was it free for Christmas Eve, or was this another SP Christmas surprise to himself?
Thursday, state parole officers received a tip from someone who directed police to Todd and Pearce, Stough said. They gave numerous statements and facts that checked out, convincing police that the two men were telling the truth.
Todd told investigators that he traveled the La Loma area often and recognized a home that looked empty the morning after Christmas. He said he and Pearce entered the home about
4 a.m. and stayed for about 3 1/2 hours, Stough said.
Police had not yet sealed off the house as part of their search, and officers had not taken up positions in the neighborhood at that early hour.
Todd said he saw several TV news trucks in the area, so he picked a different entry into the home. Police said the burglars carried a large safe out the front door and onto the front lawn. The safe contained $50,000 worth of jewelry and other items, according to police.
None of the reporters or crews in those trucks reported seeing or hearing anything suspicious, Stough said.
