West Jordan woman hides in closet and burglary suspect joins her
WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) - When the victim of a break-in jumped in her closet to hide from burglars, the last thing she expected was company. But that's exactly what happened. As the 21-year-old woman whispered on the phone with dispatchers, one of the panicked would-be robbers slipped into the closet to hide from police. Brittany was home alone when suspects, Adam Cloward, Jake Hampton and Tony Cone broke in and ransacked her home.
When she heard the window shatter she grabbed the phone, ran up-stairs, hid in a closet and dialed 911.
"I could see them through the little shutters in the closet," Brittany said.
The three men were searching for valuables in the same room that Brittany was hiding. Then it got worse, they started searching the closet.
"He was rummaging around, hitting my leg and hitting my boots. If he would have just looked up, he would have seen me."
Finally police arrrived. The three men heard them outside so one of the men hid inside the closet. The very one in which Brittany was hiding!
"He was just standing right next to me. I could have put my arms around him," says Brittany.
She waited until she heard police and then she screamed; He's in here!
Police rushed in and arrested all three men. They now face several charges, including aggravated robbery.
Police say that Brittany isn't just lucky, she's brave.
"Looking back, it's almost comical," Brittany says. "But at the time, it was scary."
