Two people from Dubois County were picked up and arrested late last week for the attempted burglary of a rural Gibson County home.
Around 11:30 Friday night, a deputy with the Gibson County Sheriff’s Department was performing an extra patrol of a residence in the 4000 block of South 550 West due to several thefts that have occurred in recent weeks.
Upon entering the property the deputy noticed a pickup truck parked on the property they knew did not belong there. Authorities say two people identified as 36-year old Humberto Palma and 31-year old Tosha Sisk both of St. Anthony, were found inside one of the buildings and were held at gun point until back up could arrive.
Once back up arrived Palma and Sisk were taken into custody.
After a police investigation both Palma and Sisk were taken to the Gibson County Jail where they were booked for Attempted Burglary and Criminal Trespass. They remain in custody on a $1,250 bond.
The Gibson County Department was assisted by the Owensville Police Department and the Fort Branch Police Department.
