…with an UNDERWEAR fire, in Modesto.

Yes, just in case you think I make up stories like these–just to blame them on Florida–here’s one from my home town:

On Saturday morning, it seems, 45-year old Andrew Cheadle was at a Walgreen’s in Modesto–and rushed into the bathroom.  But somehow, he couldn’t get his underwear off–so he did the only logical thing.  Yep, he tried to BURN them off.

That’s right, he grabbed his lighter and set his underwear on fire.

And then somehow, he was able to pull them off. But while he tossed them in the toilet–which doused the flames–the smoke still filled up the bathroom–and the Walgreen’s was evacuated.

Andrew, though wasn’t charged with arson.  Nope, because the cops apparently believed his “I had an ACCIDENT, and really needed to burn off my stuck underwear” story.

Unfortunately, however, he did have two outstanding felony warrants out of Sacramento, and was arrested for those.

(And I’m SURE that regular listeners to File 13 are asking the SAME question as I am:  Did this guy just MOVE here, from FLORIDA?)
