A late night jogger caught a pair of teens with their hands in the candy jar Tuesday evening when two young burglars emerged from their heist to find an off-duty deputy waiting for them.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Deputy Eddie Colwell was jogging the track around the Civic Center sports complex when he noticed a youth standing suspiciously outside Gilley Pool. The deputy found that odd since it was almost one in the morning and curfew in the city of McMinnville is 11 p.m. It was as he slowed from his jog that he saw another boy, this one crawling out from the concession stand at Gilley Pool will a bag full of goodies.

Colwell identified himself as an officer of the law and immediately took one of the 13-year-old boys into custody. The other boy, not quite ready for a nocturnal break-in as he was wearing a neon green shirt, ran away.

A search of the boy Colwell caught revealed the youths had broken into the concession stand to steal sweets and chips as the boy held a bag container Skittles, M&Ms and BBQ potato chips.

His partner in crime was caught a short time later when police arrived at his apartment. His mother thought he was spending the night at the home of the other boy. She brought him into headquarters when he got home. Both boys have been cited into Juvenile Court on delinquency charges.
