GRETHEL, Ky. — A man accused of breaking into a Floyd County home helped police with his arrest by getting trapped in shrink wrap.

Floyd County deputies were called to a home in Grethel, where a woman reported that she thought her son was trying to break into her home through a bedroom window.

When police arrived, they found 50-year-old Darvin Shepherd lying on the front porch, tangled in what appeared to be plastic wrap.

The woman told deputies she’d had an argument with her son earlier in the day and thought it was him trying to come through the window, so she locked herself in her bathroom. It turned out not to be her son, but Shepherd allegedly trying to break into the home by climbing through the window.

However, the window had insulating shrink wrap covering it on the inside, which ended up trapping Shepherd.

Shepherd was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary, as well as possession of meth, after police found a small bag of the drug in his jacket.
