Police Find Naked Man Hanging From Ceiling

DARLINGTON, S.C. - Police responding to an alarm at a cash advance business found a naked man hanging from the ceiling early Thursday morning.

An officer answering the alarm noticed tiles, insulation, wires and metal braces hanging from the roof and on the floor of the Check 'n Go, Darlington Police Lt. Danny Watson said.

A naked man with scrapes all over his body then dropped from the ceiling and tried to open the front door and leave, according to a police report.

"He had a charming story to go along with it though. He said somebody threw his keys on the roof and that's why he was up there," Watson said. "He kind of got a little fuzzy on the 'taking all his clothes off and sliding in the store' part."

Police think 22-year-old Michael Gilbert took off his clothes so he could fit through an air vent on the roof, Watson said.

Gilbert has been charged with burglary. The cash advance business doesn't keep money on the premises, police said.

Well, only if he fell to the ground and through four floors to the basement. And only if his naked presentation caused cardiac arrest and projectile vomiting in the officers at the scene:

LOL! Brightened up the cops' day, anyway.

Hundreds of thousands of losers pretty much like this guy are running around free, right now, many of them in your neck of the woods.

Are you heading for the hills yet? ;^)

Yeah, I'm the only one, too. It can be lonely being naughty. On the other hand...
