There is a naked man in our chimney! |
Believing they had a botched burglary on their hands, police in Hayward, California, called to a house instead found a naked man wedged in its chimney, a police officer said Monday.
"He didn't have a stitch on," Lt. Gary Branson of the Hayward Police Department said, referring to Michael
Urbano.
The 23-year-old man came home early Saturday morning and, finding himself
locked out and without his keys, tried to enter the single-story house through
its chimney.
"He told us he took off his clothes because as he was going down the chimney
the clothes would rub up against it and slow him down," Branson said. "If it
was skin on cement he felt he would go down easier."
Urbano's effort ended disastrously when a cable-television wire he used to
lower himself snapped. He fell and was wedged in a section of the chimney tapering
into the home's fireplace.
For the next four hours he cried out for help. A neighbor called police and
fire fighters, who dislodged Urbano, Branson said. Officers booked Urbano for
being under the influence of drugs, he added.
