FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - After receiving a 911 call just after 2 am Thursday of a burglary in progress at Family Video on Goshen Road, Fort Wayne police found a man inside stacking DVD's, apparently with the intent of stealing them.
Police arrested David G. Jewell, 24, of Fort Wayne, after they said he ignored orders from police, and they used a Taser on him. When he was taken into custody, the man was given a breathalyzer which returned a BAC of just under three times the legal limit.
Police said Jewell cut himself on glass when he broke the door to get into the store.
His vehicle was found a few blocks away from the store.
So far police have not released what charges he might face.
Medics checked the Jewell at the scene and he was later transported by police to a local hospital.
The incident remains under investigation by the Fort Wayne Police Department and the Allen County Prosecutor's Office.
