News from all over - Darlington

Police responding to an alarm at a cash advance business found a naked man hanging from the ceiling early Thursday morning in the South Carolina town. A naked man with scrapes all over his body then dropped from the ceiling and tried to open the front door and leave, according to a police report.

"He had a charming story to go along with it though. He said somebody threw his keys on the roof and that's why he was up there," policeman Watson said. "He kind of got a little fuzzy on the 'taking all his clothes off and sliding in the store' part." Police think 22-year-old Michael Gilbert took off his clothes so he could fit through an air vent on the roof. Gilbert has been charged with burglary.
