The importance of pants
This from reporter Brian Day:
LA PUENTE — A burglary suspect lost his pants while fleeing deputies Tuesday, officials said.
Javier Navarro, 20, and Fernando Pulido, 23, both of Duarte, were booked on suspicion of burglary, said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Mark Relyea. Navarro was also booked on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine.
The incident occurred about 11:40 p.m. at the Man to Man clothing store, 13863 Amar Road, Relyea said.
Deputies on patrol noticed a suspicious Chevy vehicle parked in the store’s parking lot with Pulido at the wheel, he said.
While officers were speaking to Pulido, Navarro allegedly emerged from the store carrying stolen clothing, Relyea said.
Navarro allegedly spotted the deputies, dropped the clothes, and fled.
The fleeing suspect jumped over the north wall surrounding the business and became stuck, said Relyea. “In the process, he lost his pants.” Deputies later found methamphetamine inside the pants.
The suspect ran through an apartment complex before hiding in a warehouse of a nearby food store.
Deputies searched the building and, “spotted him easily, because he was the only one not wearing pants, Relyea said.

Wow call the Irony dept. Lost his pants in an attempt to steal pants. Shouldn't the "Man to Man clothing store" be located in W. Hollywood?
