Arizona teen gets stuck trying to sneak into own home through chimney
This might be a move only Santa Claus can pull off.
An Arizona teen who tried to shimmy down her chimney in an attempt to sneak home after a late night out ended up getting stuck for more than 90 minutes, according to a new report.
The teen decided the smokestack would be the best entryway to her home after she and her friend, identified only as Yasmeen, got locked out Wednesday night and couldn’t find another way inside, FOX 10 reported.
But the plan soon backfired.
“She was panicking,” Yasmeen told the station. “She was, like, ‘call 911!’ She couldn’t breathe.”
The teen screamed for help the entire time, Yasmeen said.
“I didn’t know it was blocked in the bottom,” she told the outlet. “I never thought it was blocked on the bottom, so she went down and she started freaking out.”
Crews set up a tripod over the chimney and struggled to hoist the girl out, according to the report.
The teen was covered in soot when she was finally freed but refused medical attention. She smiled after she was rescued, and declined to be interviewed by FOX 10.
“I don’t know what we were thinking,” Yasmeen told the station.
The teen’s parents rushed home from the movies and were “really mad,” she added.
