Over the weekend, news came out that the Tulsa PD arrested Sharon Carr – a would-be burglar with a long rap sheet – after connecting the Cheetoh residue on her teeth to an empty bag that was left behind at the scene of an attempted burglary.
Here are the details from the Tulsa PD's Facebook page:
CHEETO RESIDUE LEADS TO BURGLARY ARREST - Tales from the TPD blotter?
A good reminder that Cheeto dust can be pretty hard to get rid of.
On 2/26/2021 around 8:00 p.m., we got called out to a burglary near 67th and S. Sheridan. The female victim said another woman was breaking in through a window, and she had two small children inside the house.
Officers found the suspect, Sharon Carr, had pried the screen off a window using a board and got inside. She left before stealing anything or harming anyone.
Officers found a bag of Cheetos and a bottle of water on the floor near the open window and believe Carr dropped them on the way out. The victim identified Carr as the suspect after seeing her.
Carr was further linked to the crime by Cheeto residue on her teeth. She was arrested for first-degree burglary. This is an arrest, not a conviction.
