Police in Knoxville had to rescue a man, Richard Anthony Smith, 25, after he got himself stuck in the Knoxville Museum of Art. <\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
He told them his Mission had failed. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Hmmm I think this guy has either read or seen the movie The Da vinci Code one time too many!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“Fortunately he was able to reach his cell phone,” DeBusk said, “or he may not have been found for quite some time.”<\/p>\n
