On Thursday, January 31, 2008, at about 4:50 pm, officers of the North Vernon Police Department responded to a Report of a Robbery at the House of Spirits Liquor store on North State Street.
Officers arrived and took two suspects into custody. One of the suspects had been chased from the store, apprehended by the store owner, and held until officers arrived.
