Brenan Sanchez and Dustin Spencer allegedly tampered with their electronic monitoring devices earlier this week. They were then reportedly involved in a breaking and entering incident in the Mishawaka area and are currently being housed in the St. Joseph County Jail on a preliminary charge of Criminal Trespass.
Starke County Prosecutor Nicholas Bourff said a charge of Escape has been filed against the pair. Formal charges in St. Joseph County are pending.
Dustin Spencer has a long list of offenses in Starke County with the most recent being a Criminal Recklessness charge on which he was serving a sentence on home detention through Starke County Community Corrections. Brenan Sanchez was on home detention after pleaded guilty to a charge of Battery as a Class C felony.
They will be transported to Starke Circuit Court to face their new charge of Escape.
