CINCINNATI —
The Kenton County man accused of breaking into an east side Barbecue restaurant is arrested after four days on the run.
Police say Pig Candy BBQ’s cameras caught 44-year-old Chad Snider sneaking in earlier this week.
On Saturday, Indiana State Police found him in Dearborn County, accusing him of having a hypodermic syringe or needle.
Before his arrest on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m., the restaurant’s cameras caught him, and so did their cook, Hayley.
“I see over to my right he’s in our tool shed, he’s over there smoking a cigarette just going through it, and I confront him, and he tells me he’s with ‘the people,'” cook Hayley Beusterien said.
Before he went inside, Snider threw on a sharp-dressed disguise, a white collared shirt and a vest. Lighting up a cigarette, right next to their meat smoker.
“The cig gave it away, I’m like you’re not with any type of department if you’re in our restaurant smoking a cigarette,” Beusterien said.
After the confrontation, Beusterien leaves and locks the door to call for help.
“I was nervous because there was some strange man out here that I don’t know,” she said.
Snider slips out, carrying power tools and kitchen supplies, the restaurant says, worth a few hundred dollars.
“I thought that maybe he dressed up because he was trying to play some kind of part, because he was claiming with poison control,” Beusterien said.
“Maybe he had some other outfits that helped him get across borders,” co-owner Christina Goehrig said after the Dearborn County arrest.
Pig Candy BBQ said it’s not worried about the tools.
“They haven’t told us yet if we’re getting those back, but I think we’ll live,” Goehrig said.
They’re putting the barbecue bandit behind them and focusing on the Memorial Day menu ahead.
“It’s on a Monday, so of course it’s ribs,” Goehrig said. “Back to making barbecue, and posting our specials on social media instead of our — this drama that you know, actually didn’t last that long. Surprisingly, you know from start to finish, he was here Tuesday and what day is it — Saturday, he’s behind bars.”
It’s unclear when Snider will be brought to Hamilton County to face charges.
