They are now held at the State Detention School in Provo. The adventures began late afternoon Wednesday when Officer Alex Huggard stopped the pair on a minor traffic violation of having an expired safety inspection Neither had any indcntifica-tion- , and upon investigation of the vehicle Huggard noticed a half gallon of whiskey, half a fifth of coffee liquor, five beers and a sixth open can. He also noticed sleeping bags, a guitar and a razor in the glove compartment. Wrote Citations He searched them and took them to the Park City Police Department where he wrote them citations for the expired sticker and lack of identification. He wrote jufor the venile referrals alcohol possession and called Coalville dispatch for a standard registration check on the vehicle, which one of the boys claimed belonged to his father. Huggard called Carol Rix-c- y since the pair were staying at the Star Hotel, and asked her to take custody, which she agreed to do. The Sheriffs Office then reported that the car was registered to Dean Francis in Springvillc, and Huggard waited about 20 minutes with the boys in the station to hear from Francis if the car had been stolen or just recently sold. During this wait, Eugene Cady, a retired fire captain from Hayw'ard, California called to report the burglar-izatio- n of his 20 foot mobile home, parked in the resort lot.

OGDEN, UTAH Cady mentioned sleeping bags, a guitar, liquor and a razors among the stolen goods and Huggard recognized the property. Searched Again He told the boys their rights, searched them again, and handcuffed them together since he had but one pair of cuffs. Because there is no holding cell in Park City, Huggard had no choice but to take the youths with him while he investigated the Cady burglary. Before leaving the office, he got a confession from them concerning the burglary, but said they held on to the story about car ownership. Cady reported "the officer was doing a hell of a good job investigating. He parked the car outside so he could watch it through the window. He had no place to put the kids, and since I was in public safety myself I could appreciate his position." Huggard said, "it was pretty cold that night and I couldn't take them inside, so I left the heat running in the car. 1 came out to get a call and 1 turned up the heat since they said they were cold. They were locked in the cage and handcuffed." gard received a call from the dispatcher, reporting the boys' vehicle was indeed stolen. At that point he looked out the window and discovered that the boys had rolled down the back window and gotten into the front seat and were backing up. He ran out, and when the boys noticed him. they accelerated towards him. "1 had to jump out of the way and barely avoided being struck. In my opinion, they were trying to run me down." said Huggard. He fired at the right rear tire to disable the vehicle, but hit the bumper instead. He ran back to the mobile home where Cady met him with the portable radio. Then Huggard chased the bos on foot but was afraid to shixit again since there were cars and homes in the vicinity. Car Pursued He commandeered a Mer- cury and pursued the car, then noticed Highway PatFrank Marccllin rolman whom he communicated with on the radio. Marccllin picked up Huggard and they lursued the patrol car, but ost it when the flashing lights were turned off. "We went all the wav to the mouth of Parley's Canyon castbound and back up westbound, checking all the frontage roads. As we were heading back westbound, we found the abandoned Nova about two miles cast, westbound, from the Summit." Apparently, the police car had run out of gas. Using the boys police flashers, pulled over an Elcamino s driven by Mitchell and Steve Tuttle. At first the men waited to be approached by an officer but when the police car honked, Kockcrhans walked to the vehicle. One of the juveniles the police shotgun at Eointcd and ordered him in the car. Roadblocks Set Up "I started to open the door, then I ran. The kids ran up to my car and told Steve, wmo was in the passenger scat to get out. Thev roared oif down the canyon in my car and we tried to flag cars down and turned on the police lights. "When the police arrived shortly after, we gave them a description of my car and they radioed to set up roadblocks." Kochcrhans reported. He later had to pay a S20.00 impound fee to recover his vehicle when found. The boys evaded the roadblocks, bought gas and didn't pay in Salt Lake and then headed for Salem. At 12:42 a.m.. two Salem police officers spotted the stolen vehicle at the home and callcdChief of Police, Bob Koch-erhan- Rothwell. Youths Found He called in several units to surround the house. With the use of a bull horn, police tried to get the youths to come out. They refused and after two hours, the police were setting advisement from the county attorney. Finally at 3:08 a.m. the two surrendered and were taken into custody. When Park City officers sot a call that the youths had been found at about a.m., Chief Henley left immediately for Salem with Huggard' and Officer Joe Offret. arriving just after the surrender. It was discovered that one 1 of the teens was AWOL from the State Industrial School, and that prior to Park City arrival, thev had burglarized Whitmore Oxygen in Provo. Stolen goods were recovered in the trunk of the car. Shotgun Loaded. Huggard learned that the police shotgun was loaded inside the house and the two young criminals had also taken fifteen rounds of ammunition from a police briefcase. They had cut a handcuff link to separate themselves with a chisel and hammer but each was wearing a cuff at the time of their capture. Huggard said the Nova no longer has back window rollers, and police are holding stolen property as evidence.
