Curfew-breaking teen gets stuck in Calif chimney

[Fuji Vice]

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) -- A California teenager has learned the hard way that he's no Santa Claus.

The Stockton Record ( http://bit.ly/ujgDPU ) reports 18-year-old George Herrera got stuck in a chimney while trying to sneak into his house Thursday.

Art Ray of the Stockton Fire Department says the teen was breaking curfew and trying to get inside his home.

Ray says Herrera was trapped near the chimney bottom for about 90 minutes before emergency crews were called around 10:15 a.m. When they arrived, they could see his feet sticking out of the fireplace.

Rays says rescuers secured ropes around the teenager's wrists and pulled him up about 8 feet with the help of a firetruck ladder.

Officials say Herrera wasn't hurt and was allowed to return home after the rescue, which took about 15 minutes.

What a nerd. I used to just take my punishment and deal with it if I was home late. This guy's parents must really kick his ass for him to think climbing in through the chimney was a good idea.

LMAO...

At my parents old house, I had a seperate door and porch off my bedroom to go outside, I never came and went through my house unless I wanted to eat or shower...I never had a curfew, I mean, I didnt think I did anyways...

He needs a good ass whopping. One for breaking curfew and the other for still breathing.
