A Middlebury man is accused of breaking into a trailer plant and flashing a gun at a worker.
Casey Balser, 24, 50812 C.R. 35, allegedly got into the RC Trailers facility along C.R. 39 in Middlebury by breaking a window into the womenâs bathroom around 4:50 a.m. Tuesday, according to details by Elkhart County police in a probable cause affidavit.
An employee found Balser and confronted him on the site. As they argued, Balser allegedly pointed a gun at the man. A Middlebury police officer then arrived, and police said Balser refused to give up the gun at first. He was taken into custody a few second later, the affidavit shows. Investigators also found methamphetamine among items Balser allegedly left in the bathroom he had climbed into.
