Man tries to burn off underwear in a Walgreens

[sprite75]

This was most definitely not Florida.

A Modesto Walgreens was briefly evacuated Saturday morning after a man set his underwear on fire in the bathroom.

The man, 45-year-old Andrew Cheadle, was caught and arrested on two felony warrants out of Sacramento but not charged with arson due to the reason he lit his pants on fire. Modesto Police Sgt. Steve Hinkley said he'd had an accident and was trying to get his underwear off but couldn't, so he used a lighter to burn them off.

Cheadle threw the burning underwear in the toilet which quickly extinguished the fire, but smoke filled the bathroom, prompting an evacuation of the store.

Yo, Trevor.

What's the South African equivalent of Wallgreens?

Wait, he tried to burn his underwear "off"? - as in, while wearing them????   

This lends new meaning to the phrase, "a special kind of stupid"!

Dischem (as in Discount Chemists)

And yes, I have been there a few times. Never tried to burn my undies off there, though

I tried that once: still can't sit properly

Always one of the funniest threads here: next to the Scarlett Fry one.

And I paid a visit to Dischem this morning.

Does that underwear bomber now have a fan club?

It's been three years: I wonder if Mr Cheadle's still in jail?
