TULSA, Okla. (TCD) --
A burglary suspect was arrested after police said Cheeto dust implicated her in a residential break-in on Friday, Feb. 26.
Tulsa Police responded to a report of a burglary in progress at about 8 p.m. Friday from a residence near 67th Street and South Sheridan Road.
The caller said she was at home with two small children in the house, and said a woman was breaking through a window.
Arriving officers said a screen had been pried off a window, and the suspect had gotten inside before leaving without stealing anything.
Officers said the suspect dropped a bag of Cheetos and a bottle of water near the open window when she fled.
Officers apprehended Sharon Carr in the area, and said the victim identified Carr as the suspect after getting a look at her.
Officers said Carr “was further linked to the crime by Cheeto residue on her teeth.”
Car was arrested for first-degree burglary. No injuries were reported.
