Man Caught In Strip Club Ceiling?

A 40-year-old man was arrested and charged after he was found crawling around in the ceiling of a Cocoa Beach strip club, according to police.

Earl Bushey, 40, was being held in jail on $5,000 bond after being arrested over the weekend on burglary and criminal mischief charges, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.

Cocoa Beach police said the manager of the Inner Room Gentleman's Club discovered Bushey was hiding in the false ceiling of the business, located at 74 Orlando Avenue.

Police arrived at the club and ordered Bushey to come down, reports showed. One of the officers retrieved a ladder as a club employee climbed into the ceiling to corner Bushey, according to the report.

Bushey, who police said apparently broke into the tiles in the men's room, tried to get away but his legs fell through the ceiling, prompting the club's employees to pull him down.

Officials found a small plastic baggy of crack cocaine and a glass pipe on Bushey, Florida Today reported. Officers also estimated the damages to the ceiling to be about $2,000.

Uh... yeah, I’m pretty sure this might go down as one of the stupidest things ever done in 2005. Nice work dude. Article here.
