NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A burglar trying to hide from police took a tumble Wednesday afternoon after he fell through the ceiling.

Metro Police say the homeowner called them after he was alerted someone was in the home by his camera security system.

Police got to the Took Road home to find that Justin Mangrum had fallen through the attic down to the kitchen floor.

Mangrum will be charged with aggravated burglary when he gets out of the hospital.

Police say the homeowner's electronics and jewelry that Mangrum had gathered never left the house.
