Firefighters had to tear though a wall to rescue an intoxicated man who became stuck while trying to climb down a chimney into the residence of his former girlfriend.

Alejandro Valencio said he was drunk when he got into the chimney about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.

"Everyone do stupid things sometimes when they're drunk," he said.

Firefighters requested assistance from police after arriving because they said Connie Deweese was hampering the rescue effort by blocking the fireplace.

"I told them to leave him in the chimney and let him die," said Deweese, who received misdemeanor citations for disorderly conduct and interfering with a firefighter.

Deweese said she had known Valencio for about eight months but had told him to stay away from her residence. She said she locked the doors but "somehow he got to the roof."

"I've dated a lot of psychos in my life, but nobody like that," Deweese said.

Valencio returned to the residence after being treated at a hospital and was filmed by a local TV station as Deweese hit him with a garbage can and pelted him with bottles.

"Get off my porch, and don't you ever come back here," she yelled.

Valencio said he had a job and would help pay for the damages incurred from his rescue.

Too bad DeWeese didn’t decide to roast some chestnuts on an open fire.

"Awwww. C'mon DeWeese! Take me back!"

Meanwhile his girlfriend said there was one positive note:

“If he is like Santa, he can’t get me pregnant -— he only comes once a year and that’s down the chimney :-)

Climbing down the chimneys Americans won’t climb down

Hmmm. Did Deweese really commit an offense. Who called the fire department? What is their access to tear her house apart without permission? Who has to pay the costs of reconstruction? Inquiring minds want to know? :-)

"I've dated a lot of psychos in my life, but nobody like that," Deweese said.

Sounds like there's her problem.
