Burglary suspect, lost in store, calls 911 on himself

ADA, Okla. – A burglar called 911 to report himself after he was unable to find an exit from the building he was burglarizing, reports CBS affiliate KXII. Michael Garvin, 22, was found at Ada Family Eye Care just after 6 a.m. on Saturday, according to authorities.  

When police arrived, Garvin reportedly threw a mirror at the officers and ran into the attic to hide before being taken into custody. Officers said he was not able to recall many details and seemed to be in unstable condition.

Police believe the suspect simply could not find his way out of the store.

“Our initial thought was that he called 911 and maybe he broke in and couldn’t find a way out and maybe he got scared,” said Officer Jeremy Farmer.

Garvin was arrested for second-degree burglary as well as auto burglary because officers allegedly found a pair of keys in his possession that belonged to a vehicle from a nearby body shop.
