Bad Boy! Bad!

Police in Milwaukee, Wisc., were called to the back of an animal hospital after a man was discovered to be stuck in the building’s duct work. The unnamed 19-year-old man had stripped and “squeezed into the ventilation shaft with a hammer and a flashlight, presumably one in each hand,” said Police Capt. Aaron Raap. He “then crawled one direction, assuming that he could get down and into the building, was met with resistance in the form of the shaft narrowing. Turned around, somehow missed his entry hole, and slid all the way down the shaft to the ground level located behind the building.” And there he sat for 11 hours, until officers rescued him. He allegedly admitted to police he was trying to get inside, where he might find some drugs. (RC/WITI Milwaukee) ...Don’t put him in jail. Make him wear the “cone of shame” for a few months.
