Authorities say a man’s plans to break into a Houston, Texas store fell through, after he crashed through the ceiling and landed in front of police.

Houston police say the man climbed a tree and onto the roof of a Family Dollar store early one Sunday morning, then managed to break a hole in the roof and enter the building.

But after making his way into the store, the man fell through the ceiling just as a police officer arrived in response to a call about a potential burglary.

Houston KHOU-TV reported that the officer ordered the unidentified man to stay on the floor, and the suspect was later arrested for breaking and entering.

Authorities believe the man was trying to steal cigarettes. Maybe a little jail time will help him reflect on the wisdom of quitting.
