A 19-year-old Dane County robbery suspect is in custody after police found him hiding in the trunk of a car in Janesville.

Janesville police say Cortez Tucker is accused of robbery with the use of force, endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.

Police say they received tips he was at a house in Janesville, and officers stopped a vehicle at Crosby and Bond near the residence. Based on the behavior of the driver, officers decided to check the trunk of the vehicle, where they found Tucker hiding.

i wonder if this dope ever wondered if he made the right moves in life while riding in the trunk of someone's car on a day when the windchills were around zero and he was wanted in dane county?"
or, like many of the young folks today, was he thinking, "i was wronged, if i could just make it to hollywood."

Great! Good work. I'm glad they found him by my house and by a school. I hope they found his weapon too.
