Droopy Drawers Thwart Drinking Teen's Getaway

The following arrest information was provided by the Westlake Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

Those baggy pants some teenaged boys like to wear turned out to be a bad choice for one young man.

The 18-year-old Hedgewood Avenue resident got into a fight with his father over the teen's underage drinking around 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 29. The two then struggled over the keys to the family car before the teen took off running from the house.

Westlake Police were called, and a bystander pointed out the teen to officers. He was easy to spot as his pants were nearly falling off, police reported. The teen ran into a nearby back yard and tried to get into the house before police caught up to him.
