- A Tulsa, Oklahoma woman was literally caught red-handed on first-degree burglary complaint charges thanks to Cheetos snack dust.
- Sharon Carr was arrested on Feb. 26 after police reported an attempted home burglary. The thief didn't take any belongings, but officers claim she left behind a Cheetos bag.
- The victim was alone in the home with two small children. She told 911 that a person was breaking in through a window.
- When officers arrived, they found an open window, and a few seconds later, they saw Sharon Carr come out of the shadows, and they arrested her. Officers suspect she was spooked when she heard the residents in the house.
- Officers said they found an empty Cheeto bag and a bottle of water on the floor near the open window and could link Carr to the crime by the snack’s residue in her teeth.
- Carr was arrested on a first-degree burglary complaint. She offered no reason for committing the crime, police said.
