Police said the dangling legs were accompanied by a voice yelling, "Help me, help me," Friday morning. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the 5-foot-10, 170-pound man told officers and firefighters he'd been stuck in the duct for five or six hours.
Jackson said the man was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Police haven't identified the suspect or the manager. The store was closed later Friday.
Jackson said the man could have been asphyxiated if the oven had turned on automatically or if the manager hadn't come in early.
