A man secretly living in the ceiling of a restaurant and bar in Denver managed to flood his home and get stuck in a wall as he tried to evade capture.
Police were called to Yard House at 11 p.m. Tuesday night after employees said a man fell through the ceiling, 9News reports. Initially, the unidentified suspect was hard to find, but officers spotted him walking around the scaffolding above the restaurant.
The ceiling dweller disappeared from view and somehow managed to trip a water main, which began flooding the restaurant below. It took nearly three hours to find the man. Officers heard moaning coming from the front of the restaurant, and when they pulled back one of the chairs there, they saw the man’s feet behind a wall.
