Mr Pancake you're under your arrest

Pancake belly in the name of the law
pancake get on your belly where are the
Geral where are the Geral please don't
tell me you put a Geral somewhere else
oh God there is a Geral there's multiple
JBL in his pants for your safety is
there a Geral inside you in the early
morning hours of July 9th
2024 officers from the Columbus Division
of police in hilard Ohio are called to
action when alarms trigger in several
local business
reporting break-ins as they race to the
scene searching for the suspect officers
are oblivious to the strange chain of
events about to unfold culminating in an
unexpected animal rescue mission oh God
they're going to request this body
camera video at the crack of dawn on a
July Morning a man out walking his dog
calls 911 after hearing alarms and
witnessing a Breakin at a nearby
construction company in hilard Ohio
there's someone in the back they're
breaking in something how out there I
don't see anything but I hear them PL of
daylight even though the caller can hear
the destruction echoing across the
street he offers no clue as to who might
be doing this or how many people may be
involved I just hear a whole bunch of
banging like boom boom all right we'll
get someone out there meam just as
emergency dispatch notifies the officers
another call comes in minutes later this
time the caller is the general manager
of roosters I the cameras and I got a
description of the
um it looks like a like late teens to
mid 20s Hispanic male he has like I
can't tell if it's like camo but it's
like a Frank like sweatsuit on and he
has a book bag on too and it looked like
he was on foot as officers reach
roosters emergency dispatch relays
crucial information to help them secure
the
building CL please anybody in here make
S known
[Applause]
one it almost looks like blood but I
don't see blood anywhere else I've been
looking on the floor and and doesn't
make sense that he would have blood on a
rock before he threw it through the
window yeah even though officers are
unsure about the substance it seems that
the suspect may have used the rock to
break into the restaurant yeah that
makes sense it' be dried but it's never
like blood yeah see it is fresh with a
probability of blood at the crime scene
officers try to find its source
completely unaware of a brewing
disturbance developing rapidly at a
nearby
business go see if I can f
the as the officers regroup at the
parking lot one of them shares Vital
Information of a potential suspect from
a sighting he had earlier I saw him over
by like a by Westchester walking on the
side of the road it literally looks like
like those pajamas like
pajamas yeah might look like that Pam on
the well the one I saw was a real dark
skin it also
dark one I saw was definitely black the
officer's description of the suspect
matches the one that Rooster's manager
had shared earlier as officers chalk out
their next plan of action an unexpected
update comes over the radio that
escalates this situation into the realm
of the
bizaar
where at Petland place closer to
roosters in the same shopping center an
officer reports seeing dogs in the
parking lot as officers race over to the
store they encounter a bewildering scene
of
chaos yeah there's a lot there
let's clear
it uh definitely can't put him between
on two is there anybody out
back the address is
5253 Road and if we can work on a
key lands out the park as dozens of
animals and birds wander around the
parking lot officers are overwhelmed by
the Mayhem on a morning destined to grow
even more outlandish there's about 20
exotic birds a couple bunnies a couple
dogs running around right
now all right
91911 come here okay come here come
[Applause]
here there's your brother brother sister
whatever it
is you guys are siblings all those
puppies are in cages so he had to have
been in the back messing with
it Corner something just watch that top
you just knock
that
boom now
oh he GL that's
what two of them
yeah there's two of them there
busting how do they even get back here
though cuz there's no I don't bust it
open they come out of
here like I don't even see any Keys yeah
maybe it's
like yeah weird the animals inside
appear safe and unharmed but it will
soon become clear that not all of the
animals are accounted for finding them
will result in one of the evening's most
shocking moments but in the meantime
police will have to catch over a dozen
biting Birds without losing their nerve
all right we're going to start trying to
catch all never catch yeah I'm not a
bird guy I have no idea what to
[Music]
do you got blood all over you
buddy come on I don't know if you're
going to bite or
what never bir exactly
exactly stop touching bird yeah I'm
hitting my
head fly
away you see bit me hard sure did as
officers turned their attention back to
the chain of events that led to this
inexplicable situation full of wandering
animals they find an answer to an
earlier mystery all right so question is
is so he came out cuz he's leaking
pretty good in there did he hit up there
well he had to hit up roosters cuz
that's how the rock got bloody I don't
see blood anywhere else and it doesn't
make sense that he would have blood on a
rock before he threw it through the
window yeah and we never got an alarmed
from here right right so he hit this
place first then hit roosters cuz that's
where the rock came from yeah but he's
bleeding a lot more here but he could
have wrapped it
up got a met by chance I know that's the
thing it's like his officers look for
evidence to NAB their suspect they
returned to roosters and with the help
of the general manager they revealed the
footage from the restaurant CCTV cameras
to confirm if the individual they saw
earlier is the same person seen in the
security footage so it's not the
guy I don't think it's the same guy so
it looks like another guy in cheetah
print what the hell um that's him cuz I
know I recognize that thing tied around
his neck it's
pink shirt
yeah yep we know him officers finally
have the Breakthrough they'd been
looking for having identified the one
person responsible for the
incomprehensible bedum this morning they
Rel lay the information to dispatch who
further confirms their doubts 154 that's
our no suspect from run earlier in the
Matthew pancake authorities are quite
familiar with Matthew pancake only a
year earlier on June 1st
2023 Matthew was sentenced to 36 months
of community control for breaking and
entering even after being charged with
possession of substance failing to
report for community control and testing
positive for substances he was
reinstated to community control on March
7th
2024 only 4 months before this incident
while officers inch closer to finding
Matthew pancake they follow his line of
vandalism toward Famous Footwear a
business located approximately half a
mile south of Petland
do
what we're good if you want to keep
going
south I hit that corner I was like why
is there all these shoes and stuff on
the corner of Aldi he
broke there's there too yeah I think
this was after the
well
yeah anybody make no The Familiar
spectacle of broken glass and rans
sacked merchandise is proof to Matthew's
whereabouts nearby

here and check behind behind the grip
mall and I
saw I drove down like oh yeah he broke

parking lot of Big L have you heard
about the guy who broke into pet lands
yes uh I'm looking right at him he's
asleep on a bench the Big Lots is
located approximately 3/4 of a mile
north of Petland this frustrating
Revelation means that the officers were
barking up the wrong tree following
Matthew's Trail in the opposite
direction uh yeah it looks like he also
tried to break into these Smoke House
like Bape shop the glass is shattered
and there's a rock on the ground at long
last authorities have located their
perpetrator but they have to act fast
before he awakes and commits more acts
of destruction oh he's moving wait no
all right let me know which way he
leaves if he gets up uh no looks like
he's just scratching his face he's still
