Police in New Jersey may have saved Michael Innaurato's life by arresting him today for a series of Delaware County burglaries he allegedly committed after abruptly resigning from his teaching position last year.
Innaurato, 30, was pulled over in Evesham Township after the automated license-plate reader mounted on a police cruiser notified the officer that Innaurato was wanted for burglary in Pennsylvania. Detective Lt. Scott Willoughby in Ridley Township, where Innaurato allegedly committed three burglaries, said Innaurato was found with his father’s stolen .45-caliber handgun, loaded and cocked.
"He told the police officer he was going to commit suicide if they didn’t get him right out of the car," Willoughby said. "That’s how bad his mental status is."
Innaurato, who police believe is responsible for at least six recent burglaries in Ridley Township, Rutledge, Aston and Haverford, may be addicted to drugs and gambling, police said. Last spring, he quit his job as a fourth-grade teacher at Amosland Elementary School in Ridley Township.
Comment removed.- You know the man is where he needs to be so he won't hurt himself or others.. But you sound like you take pleasure in other peoples misery, why is that???

Pity me I am a drug addict. Just a lame excuse from a scum bag.— oldbiker- I remember how respectful the teaching profession was before the degenerates took charge of the classrooms. Teachers used to set an example for students. That surely isn't the case now.— Disco Dave
- Shouldn't there be probable cause to run a plate? I am all for catching crooks, but how does an automated license-plate reader mesh with constitutional law?
— WantToKnow - wanttoknow...where have you been? PPA has been using plate readers looking for a "HIT" for years. they dont need a prob cause to scan plates.— IcanTakeit
- hope they bury you under the jail dimwit.— etbarksdale
so what are you trying to say he shouldn't go to JAIL— dmac6419- I hope that while he is in jail he gets rehabilitated, because for someone to choose to teach children for a living , then leaves a great profession to go criminal has to be drug related. Some people can become easily addicted to drugs/alcohol. And when its someone that throws their entire live away to do what he did I'm sure he'll regret it once he has been clean for awhile sitting in jail. But he is a human being too, and for people to say nasty thing like "Blow ur brains out dude nobodys feelin ya" makes me think you got issues too Philtyesthoodlum...— AMaria
