Break a leg: Cops say man who did during burglary called 911
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Police say a man who fell off a ladder and broke his leg while breaking into a home decided to call 911 for help.
The Courier-Journal reported Monday that, according to an arrest warrant, emergency workers found 34-year-old Kenneth Splunge inside a house in Louisville - not his own.Louisville police say in the warrant that Splunge last week climbed a fence and onto a roof before trying to get inside a home by kicking out a skylight. Police say Splunge then dropped the ladder through the opening, but while climbing down it he broke his leg.
After he called 911, rescue workers took Splunge to a hospital, where he was treated. Two days later, the wounded alleged would-be robber was also arrested - charged with second-degree burglary.
CBS affiliate WLKY reports Splunge pleaded not guilty.
