HPD stops burglary in progress, arrest made

Hopkinsville police stopped a burglary in progress Thursday night on Kaile Lane and arrested a suspect.

Neighbors called ECC after seeing a flashlight inside a vacant home in the 700 block of Kaile about 11 p.m. and an HPD report says the suspect refused to come out after several announcements by a K9 team.

A search of the home led to 30-year old Scott Schobeloch of Hopkinsville being located hiding under a blanket in a closet. He was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary.

Police say Schobeloch lives in the area with his mother and that he called someone during the incident and said he was about to go to jail.
