BREMEN, Indiana -- When criminals identify themselves, it makes the police department's job easier, as one Bremen officer recently discovered.
Christopher Antus, 24, was stopped by police July 1 for drifting off the roadway. When an officer approached the car window, he spotted Antus sporting a bright orange shirt that read, "Fugitive, You never saw me."
The officer initially joked about needing to arrest Antus because of his shirt, but the joke became reality moments later when the officer ran Antus' name through police computers and was surprised to learn that he was wanted for failing to appear in court on unspecified theft charges.
Marshall County authorities only hope other fugitives will follow Antus' lead.
