CORNWALL, Conn. - The son of billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens was charged with burglary after he was found hiding under a desk in a fly fishing shop, authorities said.
Michael Pickens, 51, of Nocona, Texas, spent three days in jail following his arraignment Monday in Bantam Superior Court.
He was found Sunday inside the Housatonic Meadows Fly Shop after the store's manager noticed something wrong and called police, according to state police.
Pickens had stopped in at the store earlier in the day, chatting about football and portraying himself as a high-powered stockbroker on a fishing vacation, the store's manager Devin "Moe" Booth said Friday.
A few hours after closing the store Sunday night, Booth returned and said he discovered that someone had jimmied open a back window to break in, then tossed reels, weights and other fly-fishing items valued at about $3,000 into a cooler.
