There’s stupid and then there’s drunken stupid. Two men were arrested Sunday night in Santa Ana, California after a failed escape attempt via a balcony of a 10-story building for apparently robbing a nearby gas station of beer.

NBC San Diego first reported the incident, wherein one of the suspects suffered a broken leg and had to be rescued by firefighters.

“There were a lot of officers,” said Anthony Bertagna the spokesman for the Santa Ana Police Department. “I don’t know where they think they were going.”

The suspects were identified as 22-year-old Gabriel Anthony Sauceda and 20-year-old Chad Alexander Walker. Both suspects were taken to the Orange County jail to be booked for stupidity burglary.

The responding police officers—and firemen—had to save one of the young adults from the hotel rooftop as amused hotel guests witnessed the unfortunate event.

Apparently, the hotel chase began at around dinner when the suspects tried to steal beer twice from a the gas station for a party at the Embassy Suites at the 1325 East Dyer Road in Santa Ana.

The suspects attempted for their getaway via the balcony and miserably failed—they climbed the hotel wall and trekked one balcony to another before one of the suspects fell and broke his legs to several places, according to police reports.

“Following the second theft, the clerk followed the two suspects and saw that they entered the Embassy Suites,” according to the official police statement. “When the officers attempted to make contact, the suspects fled through the balcony door and started scaling down the building by jumping from balcony to balcony.”

According to actual San Diego Historical Crime data, there were 5,902 cases of burglary in 2012. No specific information is found specifically for robbery of alcoholic beverages.
