PENSACOLA, Fla. – Authorities said a burglary suspect was literally caught with his pants down while trying to run away. A deputy responded to an alarm at a convenient store early Tuesday morning and reported seeing a 37-year-old man exiting through a smashed-out front door while carrying several packs of cigarettes.

Deputies said the man tried to flee, but the handfuls of cigarettes prevented him from holding up his pants, which fell down and tripped him before he could make it out of the parking lot.

The man was charged with criminal mischief, burglary, theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was being held on $12,000 bail.

That's why whenever I rob a convenient store, I don't wear pants at all. ;)

:lol: Yeah, good one! Fla. panhandle is an interesting place. The convenience store sounds like the 'Sack o' Sudz' in My Cousin Vinny.

(Just kidding: Anyone who's read my posts over the last few years knows I love the South. I'm just poking fun. I've heard it said that northern Fla. is more 'southern' than So. Fla. The whole story sounds like something out of a movie, where the setting could just as well be any of the southern coastal states, in a small city or town.)
