This time before he left, he apparently broke into the office of Assistant District Attorney Hallie Gail Crook and stole her new microwave. Note: This occurred when the jail was housed on the third floor of the Sunflower County Courthouse and the DA’s office was located in the basement) The microwave was later recovered as the offender had sold it on Church Street before making his getaway.
