The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office reports a Carroll County man was arrested following an investigation into a burglary that took place, Wednesday. 46-year old Carey Lee Huffman, of Carroll, faces charges that include Burglary in the 3rd degree and Criminal Mischief in the 2nd degree.

Officials say employees at Sparky’s One Stop in Bayard, arrived at work to discover several ceiling tiles had been broken out, as if someone was climbing around in the ceiling. Surveillance video revealed a man entered the store at around 9:30-p.m. Tuesday. He entered through the restroom and climbed up through a false ceiling, where he waited for the store to close before committing a burglary.

The investigation involved a search warrant being executed at a residence in Bayard, where Huffman was staying.
