Broken Arrow police have arrested a man they say was sleeping at Ron’s Hamburgers and crawled through the ceiling to access the beauty shop next door in a burglary.

According to a booking report, the owner of Nancy’s Hair Salon called police when she arrived to find the back door open and cabinets pried open.

Police said they found several broken ceiling tiles and items scattered on the floor. While investigating the scene, an officer also found the back door open at Ron’s Hamburgers next door and found Cody Leaman inside, the report says.

Leaman, 29, reportedly told police he had permission to be at Ron’s because the owner told him he could be there.

According to the report, investigators found a hole in the ceiling near the adjoining wall to the two businesses. They also found a sleeping area, where they recovered several items, including tools, an arcade-style game console and a blanket that was tied up to transport other items, the report says.

Inside a blanket were hair color, pliers, metal clamps, drill bit set, small container of powdered acrylic, hair care products and an electrical device used to remove hair, hair clippers, a Samsung tablet and a scale, BA police said.

They said they also found two metal files and two needles and a tube of hair color in Leaman’s sheets.

Leaman told police a woman was at Ron’s with him, and she is the one who dropped the blanket of items over the wall to him.

The beauty shop owner identified the tools and hair products as hers, and Leaman was arrested and transported to the Tulsa County jail.

He is being held in lieu of a $6,500 bond for second-degree burglary and possession of stolen property.

The booking report lists Leaman's employer as Ron's Hamburgers.
