Fall River Police arrest 2 on drug charges after one gets stuck in chimney attempting to flee

Two were arrested on drug charges in Fall River Tuesday in an incident that was not your typical arrest.

According to Fall River Police, on Tuesday evening, Detectives of the Community Action & Suppression Team (CAST) executed a search warrant on Canal Street.

During the application of said search warrant, two males fled from the residence via rooftop. One male eluded capture by bounding from the roof and onto a parked vehicle. The other male, later identified as 33-year-old Robert Langlais, invoked the essence of Santa and attempted to hide inside of a chimney. Langlais quickly became stuck in the chimney and required the assistance of the very detectives he was previously fleeing from.

With the help of the Fall River Fire Department and Fall River Emergency Medical Services, Langlias was rescued and taken into custody. Langlias was transported to a local hospital out of precaution and was medically cleared.

Langlais was formally arrested for Possession of Class A drugs, Possession of Class B
drugs and a slew of charges from outstanding warrants.

32-year-old Tanisha Ibay was charged with Possession of Class A drugs and Possession of Class B drugs.
