Burglar Without Pants Falls Through Ceiling At Waffle House

TUSCUMBIA, AL - Diners at a Waffle House restaurant in North Alabama Sunday experienced something they have likely never seen while eating out. A man crashed through the ceiling and into the dining room - wearing no pants.

The Birmingham man was identified as 27-year-old Wesley Glenn Bost, because the man left his wallet and drivers license in his pants in the Waffle House bathroom before climbing into the ceiling in what police say was an attempt to enter the restaurant's office to commit a robbery.

A report by the Times Daily said warrants are expected to be issued today for Bost for first-degree criminal mischief and burglary.

“He was trying to break into the office of the restaurant by going through the ceiling of the bathroom,” Police Chief Tony Logan said. “Apparently, he made a wrong step and he came down into the dining area.”

Logan said Bost had used his pants to tie up the door of the bathroom to keep anyone from coming in. After Bost fell through the ceiling, he fled from the restaurant and to a car driven by another man.

Police say after a high-speed chase into Sheffield, the car stopped at Avalon Park and the two men got out of the car and ran. Law enforcement is still trying to locate both men.

“We have his car and we have his driver’s license and identification, which he left in his pants inside the Waffle House,” Holland said.

Anyone who knows Bost or may have information about his whereabouts can contact Tuscumbia Police at 256-383-3121.
