Indiana state trooper BUSTED!!! - For Home Invasion Robbery!







Former University of Michigan football player and Indiana State Trooper busted for home invasion robbery of 60 year old couple in Lansing, Michigan.



What the fuck is wrong with this asshole?!









Authorities say an Indiana State Police trooper was one of at least three armed men who stormed the home of a Lansing couple in their 60s Sunday night and robbed them.
The three men, two from Lansing, were arrested soon after the incident at the home in the 2100 block of Cogswell Drive. Police said the incident happened just before 11 p.m.
The men were arraigned Tuesday in 54A District Court on the following charges: armed robbery, first-degree home invasion and using a gun to commit a felony. They face up to life in prison.
Elton D. Jones, who joined the Indiana State Police in August 2008, was fired Tuesday, said an agency spokesman, 1st Sgt. David Bursten. The 28-year-old Valparaiso, Ind., man had been on unpaid administrative leave since he was arrested, Bursten said.
Lansing Police Chief Mark Alley said investigators don't believe there is a connection between the couple and the three intruders. He said Jones originally is from Lansing.
The other two men charged in the case are: Damien D. West, 19, and Richard E. Simmons, 30, both of Lansing. Police say more arrests are possible.
Alley said the couple woke up to the sound of someone pounding on their front door. He did not identify them.
As the 64-year-old husband approached the door, "he was suddenly overwhelmed by several subjects who had entered the home after kicking in the front door," Alley said.
As the intruders ransacked the home, Alley said, some of them assaulted the man and held down his wife. The man was able to break free, run to a neighbor's house and call police.
The intruders fled before police arrived, but officers were able to get information from neighbors, he said.
An officer arrested Jones, West and Simmons at about 11:30 p.m. after pulling over their vehicle, Alley said.
"This is a great example of neighbors watching out for neighbors," he said, adding that the couple suffered minor injuries.
Jones and Simmons are being held without bond at the Ingham County Jail. West is being held at the jail on a $500,000 bond.
Jones' attorney, J. Nicholas Bostic, did not return a message seeking comment. West's attorney, Issa Ghaleb Haddad, would not comment. Simmons did not have an attorney listed with the court.
Preliminary hearings, which determine if the men stand trial, are set for Oct. 30.
