Three deputies had the suspect cornered, and he still made his escape
When I came home tonight I looked across the pasture and saw that there were lights on in my parents vacant rent house. After dragging my dad out of bed and determining that they haven't shown anyone the house lately, I called the sheriff. One of the deputies came out and walked around a few times with his flashlight and the asked us for the keys.
We unlocked the door and went in. Some of the kitchen cabinets were open, but everything else looked normal. The deputy kept opening doors and then discovered the bandit in the front bedroom. A huge black and white tuxedo tomcat. My dad and the deputy think that he came in through the dryer vent. In his attempt to get out he had brushed against the kitchen light switch.
I think he was clever enough to realize that if a light was on that someone would eventually come and rescue him.
We got him shooed out the back door and he ran out the back door, only to be spooked by the deputy's back-up coming up the driveway. The last time we saw him, he was streaking through the tall grass into the back pasture, making a clean escape.
