LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man accused of burglarizing a Louisville country club allegedly told police that he was accidentally locked inside the building.
Police say they were called to the Woodhaven Country Club near the intersection of S. Watterson Trail and Bardstown Road just before 2 a.m. Tuesday after club employees found a man inside the building who was not supposed to be there.
When they arrived, police say they found that the door had been forced open and that property inside the building had been damaged.
The alleged intruder had left on foot.
A short time later, police arrested 59-year-old John L. Giddens, who was found walking on Watterson Trail.
"He stated that he wasn't sure what happened and that he was locked inside a building and some ladies let him out," police say. "His clothing was dirty and wet and he had a cut on his left wrist."
A witness later identified Giddens as the man who was inside the building, according to police.
Giddens was charged with third-degree burglary.
