A Colorado man accused of burglary was literally caught with his pants down after police found him inside someone else's home. The Lakewood Police Department shared body camera footage of the unusual arrest on social media on Thursday (February 29).
"You know the ol’ adage 'caught with your pants down?' Somebody should’ve told this burglary suspect who was arrested by Lakewood Police Agents," officers wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The footage begins with two armed officers opening the bathroom door. They find a man sitting on the throne with his pants around his ankles in complete darkness.
"Show me your hands," an officer orders the suspect, who raises his hands and drops an item.
"I'm on the sh*tter, bro," the alleged burglar replies. "I barely made it."
Police then tell the suspect to stand up, and he complies. His face and genitals are censored in the video. They confirmed the unidentified suspect was taken to jail "after pulling his pants up" and booked on second-degree burglary charges.
Cops quickly responded to the scene early Thursday morning after a burglary alarm went off. Officers deployed a drone to look for the suspect before taking him into custody.
"While we see a lot of things in the line of doody, we had no clue what awaited us this time!" the post reads. "Overall great teamwork by our Patrol and Drone Teams."
