Ho-ho-no!
A Massachusetts man got himself stuck inside a chimney while trying to evade cops Tuesday night in a failed attempt to channel Ol’ Saint Nick.
Officers with the Fall River Police Department attempted to conduct a raid of the man’s Canal Street home in the small New England town — only to be led on a Christmas goose chase.
As the cops knocked on the front door, they saw two men fleeing the home via the roof, according to 10WJAR.
One lept off the roof while the other, Robert Langlias, hopped down the chimney in a maneuver seemingly inspired by Father Christmas.
“[One man] invoked the essence of the seasonal icon and attempted to hide inside of a chimney,” police said in a statement. “[He] quickly became stuck in the chimney and required the assistance of the very detectives he was previously fleeing.”
Bodycam footage shared by the police department shows the moment the responding police officers scaled the roof and confronted Langlias who was deep in the flue.
“You’re an idiot,” said an officer wielding a flashlight as the camera panned down to Langlias, 33, wedged inside the base of the chimney.
The officers confirmed that the suspect was in fact stuck, but able to breathe while they called for the fire department to come and rescue the wannabe Santa Claus.
“Get me out of here, bro!” Langlias pleaded with the same cops he had tried to hide from, according to the footage.
Firefighters can be seen in the video taking apart the chimney brick-by-brick from inside the home as Langlias helplessly waited to be taken into custody.
“Due to his Santa-antics, Langlias was transported to a local hospital out of precaution and was medically cleared,” police said.
The other wanted party jumped off the roof, onto a car, and lammed it before cops could make an arrest and remains at large.
Langlias has been charged with possession of Class A drugs, possession of Class B drugs and a bevy of charges stemming from outstanding warrants.
Tanisha Ibay, 32, is also facing Class A and Class B drug possession charges stemming from the incident after being arrested at the property with little fanfare.
