If Santa knows whether you've been bad or good, he knows 17-year-old Renaldo Jack is part of the former group.
The Atlanta-area teen was charged with burglary after trying to break into a Norcross home through the chimney.
He got stuck, and was trapped for nearly half a day.
The teen’s cries for help were finally heard, and he was rescued by firefighters around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Gwinnett County police said Jack had been stuck in the chimney since 3 a.m. Tuesday.
Jack was also charged with providing false information to a police officer after he gave a fake name to a policeman who recognised him from a prior arrest.
Gwinnett County police Cpl. Jake Smith told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution a neighbour heard someone yelling for help from her neighbour’s chimney.
Authorities told the Gwinnett Daily Post the teen was screaming when fire crews arrived.
According to WSBTV in Atlanta, no less than six patrol cars showed up to the scene.
Firefighters freed him by lowering a rope from the top of the chimney.
He was then led down a ladder off the roof of the house.
Jack was none too happy to be arrested. When a local news crew tried to get a shot of the teen in the back of a patrol car, he violently kicked the vehicle’s window.
His mug shot shows Jack covered in soot.
