Fugitive hides out in Circuit City store for months

BB reader Steve Portigal says,

Like the combination of several Richard Pryor plots (rewritten by William Gibson?) this escapee hangs out in an abandoned Circuit City... during which time he played hoops with a mini-basketball net and watched Spider-Man 2 on a DVD player. He also routed water from an adjacent Toys "R" Us and even installed a smoke detector.
