The dude hanging out in a McDonald’s ceiling a few weeks ago taught us all that ceilings lead to getting caught, but a man in Broken Arrow didn’t get the memo.
Cody Leaman, 29, was found inside Ron’s Hamburgers & Chili by a police officer investigating a break-in next door at Nancy & Co. salon.
The salon owner called Broken Arrow police after finding the back door and some cabinets open and ceiling tiles on the floor.
Police looked up and found a hole in the ceiling near a wall that separates the two businesses.
Leaman told officers he had permission to stay at Ron’s, but they found several stolen items — including hair color, powdered acrylic, hair care products, clippers, a metal clamp, a drill set and a Samsung tablet — among Leaman’s possessions.
FOX23.com reported that police believe Leaman intended to sell the stolen items and the salon workers said the man visited the shop daily.
News9.com reported “the booking report lists Leaman’s employer as Ron’s Hamburgers,” but FOX23.com reported that employees said Leaman was fired.
If you want to keep your job, stay out of the ceiling.
