'Santa-antics': Massachusetts Man Fleeing Police Gets Stuck In Chimney — Watch

During a search warrant execution in Massachusetts, suspect Robert Langlais (33) attempted to hide in a chimney but got stuck.

A Massachusetts man's bid to escape from the police net caught him in more trouble after he decided to jump into a chimney but got stuck. 

The incident took place on Tuesday evening in Fall River, Massachusetts when detectives from the Community Action & Suppression Team at the Fall River Police Department acted on a search warrant for 127 Canal Street and the suspects attempted to flee, said the authorities, according to an ABC News report. 

One of the suspects, Robert Langlais (33) "invoked the essence of the seasonal icon" and attempted to hide inside a chimney but got stuck, said the police in a news release. 

Bodycam footage of the incident showed firefighters removing a part of the chimney at its base and pulling the man out. 

"On the evening of December 10, 2024, Detectives of the Community Action & Suppression Team (CAST) executed a search warrant for 127 Canal Street. During the application of said search warrant, two males fled from the residence via rooftop," the news release read. 

"One male eluded capture by bounding from the roof and onto a parked vehicle. The other male, later identified as Robert Langlais (age 33), invoked the essence of the seasonal icon and attempted to hide inside of a chimney," it added. 

The 33-year-old man was rescued by local emergency responders, said the police department. 

"Langlais quickly became stuck in the chimney and required the assistance of the very detectives he was previously fleeing from. With the help of the Fall River Fire Department and Fall River Emergency Medical Services, Langlais was rescued and taken into custody," the police said. 

"Due to his Santa-antics, Langlais was transported to a local hospital out of precaution and was medically cleared," they added. 

The man was later arrested for Possession of Class A drugs, Possession of Class B drugs, and a slew of charges from outstanding warrants. Another suspect, Tanisha Ibay (32) was also arrested 'with less theatrics" for the charges of Possession of Class A drugs and Possession of Class B drugs.
