In a twist of irony straight out of a movie plot, one man’s ill-fated attempt to break into jail ended exactly where you’d expect: with him behind bars. Here’s how this bizarre morning played out.
At the crack of dawn, just before 7:00 AM, an ambitious (or confused?) individual decided the best way to start his day was by trying to break into the Allegheny County Jail. Yes, you read that right—into the jail. Clearly, someone didn’t get the memo on how this usually works.
The Pittsburgh Police quickly arrived and found the would-be jailbird nursing some minor injuries. His grand plan to force his way into the visitors lobby was a total bust, and the only thing he managed to break was the door—and maybe his pride.
Despite his best (and apparently multiple) attempts to break through, the man caused some serious damage to the door but couldn’t quite make it inside. Maybe next time, he should just ask to be let in?
After the botched break-in, our unlucky protagonist was taken to the hospital to treat his minor injuries. But here’s the kicker: once he’s patched up, he’s getting a one-way ticket right back to the jail—only this time, it’s not by choice.
Detectives are wasting no time filing burglary-related charges against him, and soon enough, he’ll be right where he wanted to be all along. Talk about a plan that came full circle!
So, in the end, the man’s attempt to get into jail was a failure—until it wasn’t. One way or another, he got exactly what he was looking for.
