They say that with the help of Pulaski County Sheriff and Constable Units, officers deployed pepper spray into the attic where Whitaker was believed to be hiding. They say Whitaker eventually moved around in the attic and slipped through the ceiling. Officers pulled him down to safety.
During the investigation, officers say they determined he had just been released from the Pulaski County Detention Center about an hour before breaking into this home. He was in there for an unrelated charge of criminal trespass third degree.
Whitaker was also charged with burglary second degree, theft by unlawful taking under $300 and resisting arrest. He was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.
