On Jan. 21, 2026, Indiana police arrested 34-year-old Jacob Sanders of Mauston, Wisconsin, after a routine traffic stop led to the discovery of blood on his hands and inside a stolen 1989 Chevy Caprice later tied to a homicide investigation in Wisconsin, authorities said.
Police in Indiana stopped Sanders because he was not wearing a seatbelt and made an abrupt turn without signaling, according to local reports. During the stop, deputies with the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office observed what they described as blood on Sanders’ hands and on the steering wheel of the vehicle. Sanders told the deputy the car belonged to his father. Sanders admitted he did not have his father’s permission to be driving it.
