SEBASTIAN, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man fell through a ceiling after fleeing law enforcement and barricading himself in a Sebastian residence on Nov. 3, Indian River County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies said they received an alert from license plate readers about a stolen Ford F-350 heading westbound. The vehicle was reported stolen outside of Osceola County on Oct. 19.

After investigative efforts, the IRCSO Real Time Crime Center said it identified the driver as Keith Rodgers, 37.

The sheriff's office said it identified Rodgers after he purchased lumber at the Sebastian Home Depot, still using the stolen vehicle.

Deputies located the truck parked in a driveway, and the suspect unloaded wood from the truck bed before he fled into the residence upon seeing law enforcement.
