Man Detains Three Vehicle Burglars Until Police Arrive

Clarksville Police Department

Clarksville, TN – On December 27th, 2011, a little after midnight, Joseph Demille, 29, of Summerhaven Road, called 911 about three teenagers that appeared to be scoping out houses and attempting to break into vehicles on Lamont Court.

The initial attention-getter for the Demille was the activation of the security light in his yard and noises outside. When he looked outside, he saw three men near his vehicle. He called 911, but the men departed his yard prior to Police arrival. He followed the men so he could update Police on their location.

While waiting for Police to arrive, he saw the three men entering three vehicles at two different residents on Lamont Court.  Joseph Demille took action and detained the three men until Officers Raymon Carroll and John Platt arrived.

During an investigation by Officer Carroll, it was determined that Dylan Engle, 19, Mathew Merrill, and a 16 year old male juvenile entered the three unlocked vehicles to obtain loose change to buy sodas from a nearby store. The three teenagers specifically chose this particular neighborhood because there would be more loose change than in other neighborhoods in the area. Their efforts yielded a little over $5.00 in change.

Juvenile petitions were obtained for the 16 old juvenile and he was released to a parent.
