Police in Knoxville had to rescue a man, Richard Anthony Smith, 25, after he got himself stuck in the Knoxville Museum of Art.
Smith told police that he was a secret agent and that he’d been on a mission when he became stuck in an air conditioning duct that lead from the museums roof. The man actually had to call 911 to get help!
When Police and firefighters reached the museums roof they found a rope and cable which lead to a vent shaft. Forty five feet below, deep inside the vent, was Richard Anthony Smith.
He told them his Mission had failed.
After being rescued he was read his rights and he apparently told police he was a “special agent from the United States Illuminati, badge number 0931″ and had rappelled onto the museum from a helicopter.
Hmmm I think this guy has either read or seen the movie The Da vinci Code one time too many!
He went on to tell the police that he was following orders to “defuse and confiscate” a Soviet-made nuclear warhead, specifically a “MERV6SS-22AN” warhead, according to the report. The bomb supposedly was hidden in a blue, plastic cow sculpture in the museum basement.
However, Smith told officers his “agency” called while he was in air-vent limbo to say it made a mistake and the bomb might be in a Memphis museum instead.
The police have charged Smith with aggravated robbery and he’s being held on $2,000 bond at the Knox County Jail. Authorities said he did not have a lawyer.
“Fortunately he was able to reach his cell phone,” DeBusk said, “or he may not have been found for quite some time.”

Dog wanting snack burns down kitchen
Illinois – A pet dog caused 30,000 of damage when it turned on its owner’s cooker and burnt down the kitchen.
Skylar, a three-year-old ‘goldendoodle’, apparently started a kitchen fire when she tried to jump on the stove to get left-over pizza.
The designer pooch, a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle, is believed to have switched on a hob which ignited the cardboard underneath the pizza.
The flames spread to a nearby plastic cutting board, and then to the cabinets above the stove, Naperville fire officials said.
Haines, 32, said he had been running five minutes late: “I didn’t do my typical sweep through the kitchen to make sure Skylar couldn’t get at anything,” he admitted. Firefighters broke down a door after neighbours raised the alarm and rescued the unconscious Skylar.
Man on horse and cart escapes 5 different police teams!
Leeds – A man on a horse and cart escaped four police motorbikes, a patrol car, a video van, two cycling constables and a helicopter.
The combined efforts of modern policing were outwitted in a low speed chase through Leeds, reports the Guardian.
The 34-year-old man, who has not been named but is wanted for serious assault, was first spotted by a police cycle patrol.
The suspect jumped on to a rag-and-bone cart with a friend and trotted off – followed eventually by a convoy of police vehicles.
Locals in Chapel Allerton described “a bizarre procession” along a dual carriageway, with the horse and cart weaving to frustrate its pursuers. West Yorkshire police said that officers had got as close as they could but were anxious not to frighten the horse.
