CANTON – A Massena man was jailed following a home invasion and robbery attempt Thursday evening on State Highway 310, according to St. Lawrence County sheriff’s deputies.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call from a person who claimed a male had entered their residence and attempted to rob them.

Deputies said the intruder was forced out by the owners of the home before the victims called 911.

Sheriff’s deputies and Canton police officers patrolled the location and arrested the suspect near the home without incident.

John C. Tulip, 59, was charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree attempted robbery, both felonies, deputies said.

Prior to police arriving Tulip allegedly attempted to flee the area in his vehicle but drove it into a ditch.

No injuries were sustained by the homeowners and no weapons were used during the robbery, officers said.

Tulip was arraigned by Canton Town Justice James Monroe and held in St. Lawrence County Jail on $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond. He is to face the charges in court at a later date.

Deputies said their investigation is ongoing.
