The Bozo Criminal Report can foresee a day in the not so distant future when Santa Claus may have to issue a disclaimer, "Don’t try this at home." From Stockton, California comes the story of a teen bozo who did nothing criminal but his poor imitation of Santa certainly landed him in the bozo file. It seems 18-year-old George Haynes had stayed out past his curfew and, finding the house locked tight, decided to try the Santa approach. It looks so easy when Santa does it, but our teen quickly found himself stuck inside the chimney. It took emergency crews about 90 minutes to free him, which was done by tying ropes around his wrists and pulling him up about 8 feet with the help of the firetruck ladder. He was uninjured and released to the custody of his parents.
