Some people just won't take NO for an answer. After being rejected by
the object of his affection, the love-struck and inebriated (of course,
there's usually booze involved) suitor climbed on the roof and dropped
down the chimney to gain entrance. Unfortunately, for Alejandro, Connie
had blocked the fireplace and the firefighters had to tear the chimney
apart to retrieve the inept intruder.

Firefighters requested assistance from police after arriving because they said Connie Deweese was hampering the rescue effort by blocking the fireplace.

"I told them to leave him in the chimney and let him die," said Deweese, who received misdemeanor citations for disorderly conduct and interfering with a firefighter.

Hi Brian,

For real, this sounds a bit like a Tanya Harding event.

On February 24, 2000, Harding was ordered by a Clark County judge to
stay away from booze and her former boyfriend, Darren Silver, after
being booked on fourth-degree domestic violence assault charges for
punching Silver and throwing a hubcap at him at their Camas, Washington
residence. Harding was also sentenced to three days in jail and 10 days
of community service on a work crew. Shortly before this, Harding had
been attempting to make a comeback as a professional skater, but the
hubcap incident effectively put an end to her skating career.
