On 11/06/23, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Arsenio J. Smith, age 33, of Princeton Indiana for Burglary to Motor Vehicle. The arrest was a result of an investigation into multiple vehicles being entered in the College Drive / College View Drive area. Police were first called to North /South Drive area to a report of a car alarm going off around 4:00am this morning. While police investigated, they located a suspicious vehicle parked in a residential driveway on South Drive. An officer approached and found the above defendant pretending to be asleep in the back seat. When speaking to Smith, they found several discrepancies in his story as to why he was parked at this residence. An officer spoke to the homeowner and discovered the homeowner did not know the subject. As police continued to speak to residents and examine video footage from various neighbors, they had a resident on College View Drive and another on College Drive report having video of a subject entering their unlocked vehicles. Items located in the car matched that of what the suspect was wearing at the time of the burglary. Based on the video footage Smith was placed under arrest. Smith had an assortment of loose change and U.S. Currency that may have come from other unknown victims.
