An alleged vehicle burglar was caught red handed in Clarksville and is now booked into the Montgomery County Jail.

According to Clarksville Police, in the early morning hours of December 28th, 40-year old Scott Puckett allegedly witnessed two men walking past his house located on Old Timber Road and saw one of the men stop in his driveway and look inside one of his vehicles.

Clarksville Police Public Information Officer Jim Knoll says Puckett then confronted one of the suspects and caught the man after a brief physical altercation, which alerted the neighbors who heard the noise and called 911.

Police say Puckett was able to subdue the man until police arrived and once on the scene, police arrested and charged 18-year old Rafael Alves Quina of Dean Road, Clarksville with one count of vehicle burglary and is booked into the Montgomery County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
