TULSA - Sand Springs police say they arrested a man after he posed as a 
security officer in an attempt to get the password for a stolen computer.

Investigators say Frank Sudduth, 23, stole jewelry and a laptop computer 
from a neighbor and later returned to the apartment later wearing a police 
T-shirt in an attempt to get the password to unlock the computer.

Police say Sudduth went to the victim's apartment and told her son that he

Officers say Sudduth took the T-shirt from the closet of his roommate, who 
had recently been hired by the Kiefer Police Department.
