The homeowner and his wife pursued Nelson in their vehicles, stopping Nelson in the 300 Block of South Madison Street, where he was arrested by police.

On 11-25-05, at approximately 9:40 a.m., a representative of Saint Anne’s Episcopal Church reported that several fingers had been broken off of a granite sculpture of Jesus in the Churchyard. The damage occurred some time during the week. There is no current estimate available for the repair to the sculpture. However, Church officials believe that if it can be repaired, the cost will be extensive.
