Early Sunday morning, Rye Daniel Wardlaw allegedly attempted to burglarize a Northwest Escape Experience, a center for team puzzle games where players work out how to exit a room, in Vancouver, Washington, according to reports.
But Wardlaw's plan hit a snag when he couldn't escape the building because he had allegedly damaged the door upon entering, according to CBS-affiliated KOIN.
Unsure of how to get out, the alleged burglar called 911 to rescue him, according to the incident report from the Clark County Sheriff's Office. According to the report, Wardlaw claimed he was calling because his home was being burglarized and gave an address that didn't exist.
But by the time police arrived at the escape room, Wardlaw had made his way out and officers found him in the parking lot, according to the report.
"The sheriff said [Wardlaw] had a burrito and he was settling in to have a breakfast and a beer I guess and then got scared because he couldn't get out," Rob Bertrand, the business' owner told KOIN.
Bertrand told the outlet that Wardlaw allegedly took a burrito, beer, cell phone, and TV remote before calling the police on himself.
"We started thinking about it and yeah, it's really funny," Bertrand said of the situation. "I'm proud to say I'm the only escape room in the Northwest that has a 100% capture rate of criminals."
Wardlaw has been arrested on three charges of burglary and is being held in jail on $40,000 bail.
