The man who hid in the Kohl’s in Eau Claire then tried to clean-out the jewelry case will not be spending any more time behind bars.
A judge yesterday sentenced Thomas McRunnel to time served in his burglary case. McRunnel pleaded guilty to burglary and theft charges. Eau Claire Police say he hid inside the local Kohl’s store, lying down on a shelf behind some luggage. He then emerged after the store was closed and stole 23 thousand-dollars in jewelry. He’s accused of similar cases in Minnesota as well.
