Police in University City, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, were called to an abandoned building that is now used for storage.

Upon arriving, officers found Rataka Lamonze Marshall next to a shopping trolley full of air fresheners – with boxes of them stacked outside too. When told to stop he fled from police and hid within the building.

After being warned that the K9 unit would be deployed if he refused to listen he surrendered but claimed he had merely been sleeping in the building and was not involved in any illicit activity. The estimated value of the air fresheners was $1,200.
