Rutland Police caught a man red-handed as he tried to rob a local business.




Police say the 33-year-old was in court yesterday after they say they caught him trying to rob Mendoni's Piper's Pub. Police say they watched as Dennis Dunn climbed out of a window just after 6 p.m. Saturday, after he broke in through the same window. Police say when they got to the pub on Route 4, the back door was locked but a nearby window was broken. Local and state police set a perimeter around the place and caught Dunn as he was loading stuff from the pub outside the window. Police say Dunn then ran away when he spotted them watching him. He was taken into custody and jailed in Rutland for lack of $25,000 bail on burglary and unlawful mischief charges.
