Nobody is holding Creed Bratton down for long.

While The Office's conclusion was the perfect way to end the series for many fans, some of the characters were left with loose ends hanging.

For instance, the last we saw of Creed, he was getting dragged away from Dunder Mifflin by two police officers. We never quite found out what the character did, but Dwight claimed that he had faked his own death after a series of crimes.

Now, Uproxx reports that the actor who played Creed—who's also named Creed Bratton in real life—is finally giving us his take on where the hilariously creepy character is now. The 76-year-old actor told Tampa Bay Times that Creed would definitely be out of the clink. He stated confidently, “He never stayed in jail long. He got out pretty out fast.”

Bratton elaborated on his theory with, “Remember on that Making a Murderer show, the really well-heeled defense attorney that was helping? I think she would have seen my case and taken pity. Then I’d scam her, take all her money. Then I’d be living somewhere doing the things Creed does. Mostly stealing. He’s a sweet crook.”

His story is oddly specific...and totally believable.
