Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight

Christmas came early for emergency services in California this year when 32-year-old Jesse Berube commited a very silly robbery attempt. While he was trying to break into a business in Citrus Heights, he tried the Santa method for entering a building, ie. down the chimney (if you see someone try to leave a building up the chimney, odds are they were Cesearean born).

Did it go to plan? Did it fuck.

He got stuck in the chimney, and his only recourse was to call the cops on himself. He could just about reach his phone and call emergency services. The Sacramento Fire Department rolled up to get him out, using special equipment. Berube was saved, but faces a count of burglary.

A new nickname for an eternally failed Saint Nick

He was refered to by the police as "Criminal Santa", but according to the same authorities, he, "does not have the same skills as the real deal." We doubt that the real Santa will be bringing him anything in his cell.
