Man sets underpants on fire in Walgreens

And no, this was not Florida.

45-year-old Andrew Cheadle reportedly told Modesto police that he had an accident, and when he could not remove his underwear, he attempted to use a lighter to burn them off, according to the Modesto Bee.

Cheadle then tossed the burning underwear in a toilet, extinguishing the fire and generating enough smoke to fill the bathroom. The Walgreens, at Standiford Avenue and Carver Road, was evacuated shortly thereafter, at about 9:20 a.m.

The suspect exited the store after admitting to employees that he had started the fire. Police found and arrested him in a nearby neighborhood, but not but not on suspicion of the pants fire. According to the Bee, Cheadle had two felony warrants issued from Sacramento.

I've heard of some bathroom activities resulting in rapid evacuation of the premises, but this one wins the stupid of the day door prize: A signed full size cardboard cutout of Donald J. Trump.

Those of us who admit to setting their pants on fire in a washroom, and those of you who deny it.

A guy doesn't set crap filled undwear on fire in a Walgreens restroom without having some skeletons in the closet. This is a job for Law and Order - SVU.
