From LINK:
"...someone called police to report a suspicious person "shimmying" down the side of a building in downtown L.A. near the USC campus. The tipster gave a description of the suspicious person to police.""cops....spoke to a woman who lived in the building. Cops gave the woman the description."
"...woman said, "Yes, that sounds like my boyfriend Josh Shaw.""
