Oklahoma State News by Ross Madison

An Oklahoma man tried to pull off a heist you would only see in the movies. Word to the wise, Firefighters LIVE in the Firehouse.

Here's the report from local officials

On 07/31/2021 at 2:51 am, We were dispatched to assist the Tulsa Fire Department with a burglary suspect at the fire station located at 3520 N. Peoria Ave.

When Officers arrived, fire crew members were holding the suspect, Justin Davis, down in the truck bay.

The firefighters said that they heard glass breaking followed by the ladder truck’s horn honking and they found the suspect inside the ladder truck.

Davis had started the truck and appeared to be attempting to drive it through the overhead doors when the witnesses physically removed him from the truck and held him for our arrival.

He was arrested and booked for 1st-degree burglary, attempted auto theft, and damage to property.

We appreciate the citizens of Tulsa for providing us with the equipment to do our jobs and we really would like it if the miscreants don't try to steal it.

*this is an arrest and not a conviction

As we sift through hundreds of press releases each day, it's refreshing to see a Public Information Officer use the word "Miscreants".
