GENERAL

The Claim

A man was rescued after being stuck inside a movie theater wall void for about ten hours and was then arrested.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Multiple credible news reports support the account that a man was rescued after being trapped in a wall void by a movie theater for roughly 10 to 12 hours and was then arrested on burglary suspicion. The small variation in reported duration does not materially affect the claim because it says "about ten hours."

Caveats

  • Some reports place the entrapment in a wall void next to the theater rather than literally inside an interior theater wall.
  • The reported duration varies by outlet, usually between about 10 and 12 hours.
  • The arrest was reported as on suspicion of burglary; an arrest is not proof of guilt.
