A homeowner who lives in the Oklahoma City area was alerted by his security system and told deputies he was watching a man sneaking around his lake property on his surveillance system on his phone. 

When deputies arrived at the home they found Haney hiding under the porch, the sheriff said. Sheriff Moore said Haney is still being held in Delaware County. Sapulpa Police detectives are in Delaware County 

Sheriff Moore said Sapulpa Police had put out an alert about the suspect and his deputies made the connection. He said he believes Haney was trying to steal gas from the home at Grand Lake.
