Employees at the store in Longmont, Colo. first heard the man, identified as Paul Felyk, yelling on Monday, but they couldn’t locate him, according to the city’s police department. When they heard him yelling again on Tuesday, they alerted authorities, who found the man between an interior and exterior wall, NBC affiliate 9News [reported](http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/11/11/marshalls-longmont-man-stuck-ken-pratt-boulevard/18857691/ "undefined"). In the space, accessible only by roof, there was enough room between the walls for Felyk to lay down but not enough to move, police said. Firefighters resorted to breaking open the exterior wall so Felyk could crawl out. Felyk was hospitalized in fair condition, and is under investigation for criminal trespass. \[[_9News_](http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/11/11/marshalls-longmont-man-stuck-ken-pratt-boulevard/18857691/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3579764/marshalls-wall/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3579764/marshalls-wall/"},"headline":"Police Rescue Man Believed Trapped in Marshalls Wall for Days","datePublished":"2014-11-12T01:57:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:32.690Z","description":"Marshalls employees couldn't figure out where his yells were coming from","url":"https://time.com/3579764/marshalls-wall/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Crime","People"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb502b5aaaeaaac09/6987684cf887dce312e88536/marshalls.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jack Linshi","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jack-linshi/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb502b5aaaeaaac09/6987684cf887dce312e88536/marshalls.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TJX Cos.
