COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Police arrested a man who they said allegedly broke into several businesses in the far west side of Columbus, Ohio — including a pet store where multiple animals were set loose early Tuesday morning.
According to Columbus police, officers arrived at the Petland store in Hilliard Station at 3:45 a.m. and found an open door. Many animals were roaming free, including birds, dogs, rabbits, gerbils and ferrets.
Officers at the scene were able to recover most of the animals save for a few gerbils, ferrets and rabbits.
Police said they were looking for a homeless man named Matthew Pancake, who also allegedly broke into a Roosters and a Famous Footwear along Hilliard Rome Road.
Body cam video showed the suspect asleep on a bench while wearing a leopard-print onesie.
“Get on your belly, Mr. Pancake!” one officer shouted when they arrested him. “In the name of the law Pancake, get on your belly!”
At the Famous Footwear crime scene, blood was also found on some of the merchandise.
The man was located about an hour later in the parking area of a Big Lots on Roberts Road. Police said several hamsters, initially mistaken for gerbils, were found unharmed inside the man’s pants.
“What the heck?” said one officer as he pulled the hamsters out of Pancake’s pants.
“For your safety, is there a gerbil inside you?” asked another officer.
The man was treated for injuries sustained while breaking into the businesses.
Was it really biden? Be honest.

Good thing I keep an anaconda in my pants. It prevents rodent infestation.
You beat me to it. :-)

I guess the meme has to be changed to a hamster with a Matthew on its head.
This guy has severe mental problems.
Apparently the police and the area residents know about him..................

I *syrup* he gets the help he needs.
Put a suit on him, keep him away from microphones, and don’t let him run loose, and you have the perfect Democrat presidential candidate. The staffers wouldn’t notice the difference.
How about my hands, sir, up?
I knew a person named ____ Pancake from work.
Seems like a nice guy.
Hahahahahaha
Seems like a lot of them originally settled in Ohio.
Is that a hammer in your pants, or...?
