KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ? A chimney sweep may be lucky as lucky can be, but William Hussey was neither.

The Knoxville News Sentinel quoted Knoxville police who said a homeowner heard cries for help and traced them to her chimney early Friday.

Police found a sport utility vehicle abandoned with a door open in the road near the home. There were seven gasoline containers in it and a strong smell of petroleum coming from it.

Then, they found Hussey in the chimney of someone he didn't know. Hussey is 22 and is from Chapel Hill, N.C.

The fire department used a rope to hoist him and he was taken to a hospital to be examined.

Police charged Hussey with public intoxication, vandalism and aggravated trespassing.

Officers had no explanation for why he was in the chimney.
