Man Arrested in Dallas JFK Museum Burglary

DALLAS (AP) _ Authorities say they’ve arrested a man who worked for a security company hired by the Sixth Floor Museum.

That’s where a safe was taken last week in a thwarted burglary of the building that served as a perch for President John F. Kennedy’s assassin.

Dallas County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kim Leach says Patrick Cleveland of Dallas was charged Friday with burglary of a building and later released on bond.

Leach said there was no information on an attorney for Cleveland, 30. A phone listing for him was disconnected. Leach said more arrests were expected.

Authorities say the alleged burglary was interrupted early May 4 by a security officer who fired shots at two men driving toward him in a pickup truck carrying the safe on a winch attached to the truck bed. The men abandoned the truck after crashing it.
