Droopy Drawers Thief's Downfall

Loose, baggy jeans are credited with catching a would-be robber in Henderson, North Carolina. It seems that when 24-year-old Noah Donell Brown tried to jump over the counter of a Subway shop during an armed robbery attempt, his loose trousers tripped him up and he came crashing down in front of employees.

Brown then fled to a nearby residential neighborhood, with police in chase, only to get held up again. As he tried to climb a picket fence, Brown's pants got caught. Police, who found him dangling upside down, his pants at his ankles, had to cut him loose.

"He didn't make a good jump," said Hendersonville police Chief Donnie Parks, who spotted Brown on the fence. "The only reason we caught the guy was because his pants fell down," he said, adding: "He was wearing underwear, thank goodness."

Brown pleaded guilty to attempted robbery with a dangerous knife.
