EVANSVILLE- Firefighters had to tear through a wall to rescue an
intoxicated man who became stuck while trying to climb down a chimney
into the residence of his former girlfriend.
Alejandro Valencio said he was drunk when he got into the chimney about
3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
"Everyone do stupid things sometimes when they're drunk," he said.
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.
Deweese said she had known Valencio for about eight months but had told
him to stay away from her residence. She said she locked the doors but
"somehow he got to the roof."
"I've dated a lot of psychos in my life, but nobody like that," Deweese
said.
Valencio returned to the residence after being treated at a hospital and
was filmed by a local TV station as Deweese hit him with a garbage can
and pelted him with bottles.
"Get off my porch, and don't you ever come back here," she yelled.
Valencio said he had a job and would help pay for the damages incurred
from his rescue.
