You can’t hear it on the video, but restaurant employees tell WINK News the alarms were blaring. It didn’t seem to bother the burglar and neither did a phone call from the alarm company. Manager, George Tomasi still can’t believe the suspect’s next move, “He picked it up and the security company asked him who this was, and he gave him his name!” That’s right, according to the alarm company ADT, the suspect identified himself as Christopher Kron, which deputies say was his real name.

Do you want us to call 911?’ And I said, ‘Please do.’ “ A police detective lunching at a nearby restaurant saw Cintron, decided right away he was dead, and questioned Daloia and O’Hare, who ended up spending the next three days under arrest.
