Two Charged In Boat Theft

July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.


Kosciusko County officers have arrested two individuals on theft charges after they allegedly stole a boat in the Papakeechie Lake area.
Kosciusko County Sheriff's Deputies, along with Indiana State Police, apprehended a female Wednesday for her alleged involvement in a recent theft of boats and power tools. Officers from both agencies located Lindsay Raye Housman, 25, Cromwell, at approximately 3:30 p.m. Wednesday walking near Raggedy Ann Lane in the Enchanted Hills housing addition.  Investigators had acquired information implicating Housman's involvement in the theft of one aluminum flat-bottom boats.
Deputies arrested Housman on preliminary charges of felony theft as well as burglary. She is currently being held on a $5,000 bond in the Kosciusko county jail.
Officers also obtained information alleging the involvement of Charles E. Norris, 29, Cromwell, in the same thefts that apparently occurred during the fall of 2012.  Officers have obtained an arrest warrant for Norris on felony burglary and two counts of felony theft charges. Norris is currently incarcerated in the Whitley County Jail on unrelated charges of felony escape, aggravated battery, intimidation with a deadly weapon and violation of his probation.  
Norris was originally arrested Nov. 24 in Kosciusko County by Indiana Conservation officers on charges of resisting law enforcement, escape from lawful detention, possession of cocaine, failure to procure a residential hunting license, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
