Man Trapped for Three Days In Store Wall

Authorities have
said that a man rescued from inside a wall at a
department store may have been trapped there for
up to three days. The Longmont Fire Department in
Colorado cut a large hole in the side of the
Marshall's store on Tuesday 35-year-old to free
Paul Felyk from the space between the interior and
exterior walls.
Authorities said store workers heard
shouting Monday, but were unable to
determine the origin of the sound.
Employees heard the man yelling again
Tuesday morning and traced the voice to a
hole in a back wall.
Police said Felyk is believed to have spent
three days trapped in the wall after
apparently entering through a roof vent for
unknown reasons.
Investigators said the man had attempted
unsuccessfully to pass distress notes from
his position between the walls, and one of
the notes was scrawled on his probation
officer's business card. One of the notes was
dated Nov. 8, indicating he had been in the
wall since Saturday.
Felyk was taken to Longmont United
Hospital. Police said they are looking into
possible charges including criminal
trespass.
