Burglary Suspect Gets Stuck In Pizza Shop Vent

Denver Police, Fire Free Man After Stripping Him Naked

(Tuesday, March 24, 2009) - A 21-year-old burglary suspect was stuck in an air vent at a Blackjack Pizza restaurant for hours Friday morning before firefighters arrived to cut his clothes off and free him.

The man was lodged in the small vent above the restaurant's oven.

"I heard a scream, 'I can't breathe.' I shut off the alarm. I looked up and saw this leg," said Josh Guerin, a part-owner of the business who arrived at work at about 6:45 a.m. "He was in a lot of pain."
