Suspected burglar tries to crawl through ceiling vent sans pants, gets stuck
The sheriff's office received a call of a motion alarm going off at Intermountain RC Raceway, 8481 West 2700 South about 1:30 a.m. When deputies arrived they didn't see any signs of forced entry, said sheriff's deputy Shane Manwaring. They waited for the owner to show up to let them inside the building.
The officers were exposed to a little more than they were expecting inside the business.
Inside the women's restroom, they found the pant-less legs of a man hanging from the vent in the ceiling, Manwaring said. Investigators believe the man took off his coat and pants and tried to climb down the vent from the roof but got stuck.
"We don't know how long he was there ... at least 10 minutes," Manwaring said.
The man was not calling for help when deputies found him.
The Unified Fire Authority was called to extricate the man. Firefighters said once they brought a ladder to the man, they were able to get him down rather easily.
