A crazed California woman stripped naked and tried to slide down her baby-daddy’s chimney — but wound up getting stuck for two hours before firefighters rescued her.
Tony Hernandez got the rude awakening around 5 a.m. Saturday when the 35-year-old mother of his children, whose name has not been released, attempted to get inside his house, CBS Los Angeles reports.
When the woman showed up and got no answer at the front door, she decided to take off all her clothes, make her way up to the 12-by-12-inch chimney — and then shimmy down, making a Santa-style entrance.
Things took a turn for the worse when the ex-lover got herself stuck just as Hernandez was getting up for work. He discovered the woman after hearing her cries for help.
“I’m trapped in the chimney,” he could hear his ex shouting.
Hernandez went up to the roof and tried to free her, to no avail, according to CBS.
He eventually said enough was enough and called 911. The Riverside County Fire Department showed up and finally freed Hernandez’s estranged girlfriend after a two-hour operation that involved busting the fireplace open.
The woman was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, CBS reports.
Hernandez said the entire chimney will have to be rebuilt.
This is the second instance in only a few months where a California woman became stuck in an ex-lover’s chimney. In October, Ventura County firefighters rescued a woman who was stuck in the chimney of a man she had dated only a few times. Rescuers dismantled the chimney and used soap to extricate the woman after about two hours.
