Robbery suspect was stuck in ventilation shaft for 10 hours

A 25 year old man tried to break into a CVS pharmacy last night ... and he thought he had it all planned out. He had a rope and was going to drop himself in through the store's ventilation shaft.

Jeffery Mumani climbed onto the roof of the CVS store and removed the vent, allowing access into the store. He tied the rope around himself, when the plan was suddenly ruined.



"Either the rope broke, or came loose from what is what tied to , and ended up dropping him 9 to 10 feet straight down," says Marion County Sheriff's Captain James Pogue.

Straight down into the ceiling of the ladies' room.



Ten hours later fire rescue pulled Mumani out ... he had been wedged in with his arms over his head.

Charges are pending.
