COEUR d'ALENE -Former NFL QB great Drew Bledsoe's stolen mountain bike was intercepted by a couple heads-up and honest Coeur d'Alene teenagers, police said. It will be returned undamaged.

A third teen, 18-year-old Brandon C. Edgemon, of Coeur d'Alene, was arrested in connection on a charge of grand theft, Coeur d'Alene police spokeswoman Sgt. Christie Wood said Tuesday.

The $5,000 Santa Cruz bike was reported stolen over the Labor Day weekend while Bledsoe was in Coeur d'Alene visiting friends.

Bledsoe, a one-time New England Patriot and Dallas Cowboy, said the bike was locked to his vehicle, which was parked on the 1000 block of East Front Avenue. He said a cable lock had been cut.

Officers responded a couple days after the theft to the 800 block of North 22nd Street, following a report that a teenage brother and sister were in custody of what they believed to be a stolen mountain bike.

Appropriately, the siblings' last names are "Justus."

The sister, Kelsea, 19, said Edgemon allegedly came by their house on the afternoon of Sept. 5 and asked if she would "'watch a bike for me because the police are looking for it,'" Wood said.

According to the siblings' father, Rick Justus, Kelsea told Edgemon there was "no way" she'd be helping him.

So Edgemon allegedly stashed the bike behind a vacant house across the street, Rick Justus said.

Kelsea told her brother, Nate Justus, 15, and he recovered it, then locked it in their garage.

Edgemon returned and got upset when he couldn't get it back, Wood said.

Nate talked to his father about what happened.

Rick Justus recalled his son telling him, "'I'm going to do something really nice for somebody today.'"

Nate Justus called police to tell them that Edgemon, someone he knew, had stashed the stolen bike. Officers responded to his residence and were able to determine the bike was Bledsoe's.

"We didn't know whose bike it was, we just knew it was a really nice bike," Rick Justus said. "We weren't looking for anything" in return.

When they found out it was Bledsoe's bike, Rick Justus said, his response was: "Are you kidding me. This is amazing."

It isn't clear yet if the deed was Drew Bledsoe autographed-football-worthy. Regardless, Rick Justus said, "I'm pretty excited for them to get recognition for doing the right thing."

Tracking down Edgemon wasn't a problem for police detectives. He was located at the Kootenai County jail, where he had been taken into custody on Sept. 5 for a warrant on a different charge.
