Stuck Suspect Proves Climbing Down Chimneys Is Best Left to Santa
Police in Massachusetts have found proof that going down chimneys is really best left to the expert - Santa - with a suspect who tried to hide in one having to be extricated by a local fire crew before being arrested.
According to the City of Fall River Police Department, detectives were conducting a search warrant in Fall River on December 10 when two males fled from the residence via the rooftop.
One suspect managed to evade capture by jumping from the roof onto a parked car. The other, identified as 33-year-old Robert Langlais, took a page from a holiday classic and tried to hide in the chimney, where he became stuck, according to the police.
“Due to his Santa-antics, Langlais was transported to a local hospital out of precaution and was medically cleared,” police said.
Langlais was formally arrested for possession of drugs, and a slew of charges from outstanding warrants.

US President Joe Biden pardoned two Thanksgiving turkeys in Washington, DC, on Monday, November 25, marking the start of his last holiday season in office.
Footage released by the White House shows Biden pardoning the national Thanksgiving turkey duo, Peach and Blossom, on the South Lawn on Monday. Biden said that the turkeys were named after Delaware’s state flower, the peach blossom.
“This event marks the official start of the holiday season here in Washington,” Biden said. “It’s also my last time to speak here as your president during this season and give thanks and gratitude. So let me say to you: it’s been the honor of my life, I am forever thankful.”
According to a local news report, the pardoned Peach and Blossom will head to the Minnesota Agricultural Interpretive Center to serve as education ambassadors.
