Famous Escape From Deputy Sheriff Sparks Elkhart Pursuit
Charles Printz, one of the brass thieves tied to the Jake Shore shops theft, escaped from Deputy Sheriff Robert Chatten in Goshen while en route to Elkhart for a guilty plea.

He later signaled willingness to plead guilty, with authorities reporting recovered brass valued near $200 and prints of a broader police case in Mishawaka and South Bend.
