Police Catch Burglar With His Pants Down
CBS News ^

Posted on 10/30/2007 8:37:18 AM PDT by John Cena

The suspect in a weekend burglary was easy to identify: He had left his pants behind at the scene. The man squirmed out of his pants and shoes while scuffling with the homeowner, police said. Clad in only a hooded sweat shirt and red boxer shorts, he fled from the house on the city's northwest side.

Police later found him hiding in tall grass in a wooded area. They are seeking charges of disorderly conduct, burglary and possession of stolen property.

The homeowner spotted a light in his basement when he returned about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, police said Monday. The suspect ran into the garage, could not find his way out and returned to the house, where the homeowner pinned him against a wall.

The homeowner's wife, who had been sleeping upstairs, heard the commotion and called police.

The suspect shimmied out of his pants and fled before officers arrived. A search of his pants turned up property believed to have been taken from a vehicle in the neighborhood, police said.

“If the pants don’t fit, you must acquit”

Probably a yute whose pants were already halfway off when he went in.
