Pantless Man Falls Through Waffle House Ceiling As Horrified Patrons Look On

TUSCUMBIA — Police say warrants are expected to be issued today for a Birmingham man who fell through the ceiling of a Tuscumbia restaurant Sunday during a botched burglary.

Detective Sgt. Wes Holland said police are searching for Wesley Glenn Bost, 27, who fell through the ceiling of Waffle House on U.S. 72.
He said the warrants are 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 fell into the dining area.” Logan said the man had used his pants to tie up the door of the bathroom to keep anyone from coming in. Logan said it is believed Bost was on drugs when he fell into the dining area with nothing but his underwear on. “Some of the people inside tried to grab him when he fell into the dining room but he escaped.”

Exciting night at the Waffle House, huh? One minute you’re sitting there enjoying dinner and the next a pantsless man plummets through the ceiling into your Chocolate Chip Waffle. That blows, man. And what the hell, Wesley Glenn Bost, they don’t have locks on the bathroom doors in Tuscumbia, Alabama?

PS- How do you tie a door shut with your pants? Anybody?

PPS- I tried to work a “he escaped by the seat of his pants” in there but I couldn’t figure it out.

PPPS- While my crack staff here at Shoe: Untied was researching this article they found that the Tuscumbia town slogan is “Charm of the Shoals.” I like it.

PPPPS- I swear to God it took me 10-minutes to figure out which was correct, “pantsless” or “pantless.” FYI: Turns out both are acceptable.

PPPPPS- This gives me an excuse to run this classic:
