idiot of the week

not to be confused with the darwin award candidate from yesterday, this guy doesn't necessarily deserve to be removed from the gene pool; this guy is just a idiot. but to his credit, he IS a pretty clever guy for being such a dumbass...

Burglary suspect got stuck in air duct

A would-be burglar was caught early Wednesday after he got stuck in the ventilation system of a Maryland convenience store, police said. 

Shane Morgan Hall, 21, of the first block of Mahogany Drive in North East, Md., told Cecil County sheriff's deputies he was playing hide and seek. 

Hall was arrested at 7:14 a.m. when deputies and firefighters answered a call about a man stuck in the ventilation system at the BP Station in the 2300 block of W. Pulaski Highway. 

Lt. Bernard Chiominto said when the owner arrived to open the store, he spotted a pair of feet dangling from the the duct. 

Deputies said Hall had removed the ventilation cover, crawled through the vent, got stuck and set off a fire extinguisher that sprayed powder all over the store, Chiominto said. 

Deputies freed Hall and took him to Union Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries.

Hall, who allegedly gave police two false names, was charged with two counts of submitting false information to a police officer, and one count each of second- and fourth-degree burglary and malicious destruction of property. 

He also was wanted for failing to appear for a drug count. 

Hall told deputies he was playing hide and seek on the roof with some other adults and decided to hide in the ventilation system. 

When no one guessed where he was, the other players gave up looking, Hall told police.

Hall was being held in the Cecil County jail on $30,000 bail.
