MORON BURGLAR GETS STUCK IN CHIMNEY FOR 2 HOURS
RENO, Nev. -- A burglar was arrested when he began screaming after getting stuck in the chimney of a Lake Tahoe home. Sheriff's deputies and a fire rescue team found Jose Francisco Martinez, 19, wedged halfway down the chimney. He apparently had been stuck there for about two hours, Placer County Sheriff's Sgt. Brian Whigam said April 21. "We've had bears stuck in chimneys before but we haven't had people," Whigam told The Associated Press. "It's crazy. The video we took is funny," he said. Authorities were forced to dismantle half the chimney brick by brick to free Martinez, doing about $20,000 damage in the process, Whigam said.
