Indiana 9-1-1 butt dialers arrested again

A Wayne County, Ind. couple, who were caught stealing items after they butt dialed 9-1-1, have once again found themselves in jail.

29-year-old Ricky Maddox and 31-year-old Sarah Bauer, were arrested Tuesday night in Wayne County, Ind., according to online jail records.

Bauer was arrested just before 9 p.m. and has been booked into the Wayne County Jail on charges of auto theft, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of meth.

Maddox was apprehended at 10:30 p.m. and was also booked on charges of auto theft, criminal mischief, and failure to appear.

Dispatchers with the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office said the arrests were made in Richmond by the Richmond Police Department. Additional details on what led to their arrests was not available.

Maddox and Bauer first found themselves in legal trouble in November, when they made a mistaken 9-1-1 call, and argued about an alleged theft at a Winchester, Ind. Walmart.

Maddox and Bauer were released from jail shortly after the initial arrest, but were arrested again only days later for trying to pass bad checks at a store in Randolph County.
