Man Arrested For Stealing From Cushing Police Evidence Room

CUSHING, Oklahoma -- Agents with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation arrested a man they say broke into a police station and stole property from the evidence room.

Police in Cushing, Oklahoma got a call about a door open on a vacant apartment right next to the Cushing police evidence room.

Officers found that someone had busted through the wall and into a room where they store evidence. Police quickly discovered items from the property room were missing.

They tracked the break-in to Cushing resident, 26-year-old Dalton Dash Brown. He was arrested at the Payne County Courthouse while he was appearing on another burglary case.

After a two-day audit, police are confident they've recovered the stolen evidence.
