"Detective Julie Lee was investigating a series of catalytic converter thefts when evidence led her to Bushnells home, police said.
Lee suddenly came face-to-face with the gigantic slide, which was reported stolen in December 2020, as she searched the home for catalytic converters.
Bushnell sawed off the slide, repainted it, and mounted it on a bunkbed in a childs bedroom at his mobile home, according to investigators."
