Man falls from department store ceiling while evading police in Washington
Gabriel Llamalt Hideo was arrested after police found him inside the ceiling of a Macy’s department store in Vancouver, Washington. He allegedly damaged ceiling tiles, lights and wiring while trying to evade officers, and the incident led police to evacuate the store’s second floor for customers’ safety.
After more than an hour of commands to come down, Hideo climbed a ladder but tried to retreat into the ceiling when officers moved it away. He fell onto a mattress police had placed below, then was tackled and taken into custody.
