PULASKI COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – Two people return home to find strangers in their garage. Now the two are in jail after deputies track them down hiding in a cornfield.

According to Pulaski County Sheriff Greg Speck, 33-year-old Sean James Everhart, of

Ringold Road in Somerset, and 22-year-old Jyan Lynn McCartney, of Valley View Trail in Monticello, are charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree criminal mischief in connection with the break in of a home on Faubush Road in western Pulaski County.

Deputies Logan Starnes and Austin Swartz answered a burglary-in-progress call and when they arrived, the owner of the home and her friend described the two people in the garage who fled into the cornfield.
