On April 13, Joel's car was stopped, and he and a companion were arrested for a few miles away from, and a few minutes after, the burglary of a supper club. The burglary had been reported by an eyewitness whose descriptions of the event and the car involved were transmitted by radio to area police officers. Joel's car matched the description of the car in which the burglars left the scene. It was also traveling in the same direction on the same road. After Joel and his passenger had been taken into custody, the car was sealed, towed, and searched. It contained two bank bags with about $500 currency and coins, later identified as club property, and various tools, including pry bars, mauls, tire irons, and a hack saw.
