Tryon man jailed on Cushing
business burglary complaint
By Patti Weaver
Journal Correspondent
A Tryon man was arrested at 1 a.m. Tuesday as a sus=
pect in a break-in at Laymance Services in Cushing where
he formerly worked, according to a Cushing police news
release.
Bradley John Glen Rice, 25, was booked into the Cushing
City Jail on complaints of public intoxication, second-de-
gree burglary, possession of burglary implements, assault
and battery with a dangerous weapon and malicious injury
to property, Cushing Police Chief Tully Folden said in a
news release.
"The owner of Laymance Services advised that upon
his return to his shop, he observed that the back window
was broken out and that the business alarm was going off.
"Laymance also stated that he observed a car parked
near the back door of the business with the driver's door
open and running.
"Laymance advised that as he approached the building,
suspect Bradley Rice exited the rear of the business.
"Rice was seen carrying a claw hammer and cash as he
exited the building," the news release alleged.
"Laymance then advised that he tackled Rice to the
ground.
"During the struggle on the ground, Rice struck another
worker with the claw hammer as he attempted to help
restrain Rice for the police," the news release alleged.
That worker received a minor injury to his back, the news
release said.
