According to FoxNews13, Cory McPhaul, has been a person of interest at 10 other recent commercial burglaries as stated by the Lakeland Police Department. “Lakeland Electric also contacted police about the building’s power getting cut. It seems like he also cut power in the building as well. McPhaul was seen by officers wearing a gray jacket, black pants and white gloves, attempting to break the glass door of the Zone 98 Smoke Shop. When officers arrested McPhaul for the crimes, they found a large knife in his pocket.” The very next morning, employees at a Culvers noticed that someone had tried to break into the building. Surveillance footage showed a gentleman taking a brick paver, trying to smash it through the drive-thru window.
