APPLETON (WFRV) - A 'sticky' situation was averted when police arrested an Appleton man early Wednesday morning for burglary.
Shortly after 4:30am, Appleton police were dispatched to a home in the 1600 block of N. Wilmer Avenue for a report of a burglary in progress.
The homeowners told officers they were awakened after hearing a person whistling in their basement.
The homeowner, armed with a shotgun, held 37-year-old Aaron Maurice at bay until authorities arrived. Maurice was taken into custody without incident.
Asked why he was in the house, Maurice said he was on the run from the government.
When officers encountered Maurice, he was wearing his own pants, the female homeowner's jacket and the male homeowner's hat. Maurice was also covered in barbecue sauce. When asked why, he told officers it was an urban disguise.
Maurice was booked into the Outagamie County jail on one count of burglary.
couldn’t he have used something less sticky...like motor oil?
Spicy? Sweet?
So, does this mean he was busted or basted?
After smoking him out, they gave him a thorough grilling.
The homeowner should have really raked him over the coals.
Wisconsin, where the water is beer.
Is it moose rutting season already?
The homeowners told officers they were awakened after hearing a person whistling in their basement.

Dear Maurice the BBQ Man,
Here’s a fact of life: If UR serious about a career in home burglary, you gotta cut back on the whistling!
I’m just sayin’.
DO YOU PREFER A DRY RUB OR A WET RUB.....
