FALL RIVER, Mass. (WPRI) — A man is facing charges after attempting to evade Fall River detectives by hiding in a chimney Tuesday night. Robert Langlais (Courtesy: Fall River Police Department) Detectives were executing a search warrant at a house on Canal Street when two men reportedly fled from the home onto the roof. Police said one man managed to escape by leaping from the roof onto a parked car, but the other, 33-year-old Robert Langlais, wound up wedged in the chimney. Fall River Police Lt. Matthew Mendes told 12 News that firefighters had to break the chimney to free Langlais. Police body-worn camera footage shows firefighters disassembling the chimney brick by brick before pulling Langlais to safety. Langlais was brought to the hospital as a precaution. He's since been charged with drug possession, as well as several offenses tied to outstanding warrants. Officers also arrested 32-year-old Tanisha Ibay for drug possession without incident.
