A burglar in Baker, Florida probably needed something more than just money from the pharmacy he was trying to rob once he broke in.
He probably needed some pain medicine after falling through the roof of the drug store.

As you can see on this security video, the robber was in obvious pain once he crashed through the roof.
He sat on the floor for a while and tried to get up but ended up crawling out of the store on his knees.
Police found the 29-year-old thief across the street a short time later, hiding under some lumber, still trying to recover from his injuries.
He was arrested just before 6 a.m. across the street, missing one tennis shoe that was later found inside the pharmacy. A deputy said Legros admitted to the incident.
He had bolts from the roof and an assortment of wrenches in his pants pockets, according to the report.
According to an official report damages are estimated at more than $1,000. It also cost the suspect a few broken bones.
Later he told police he was on the roof because he was looking for a cool place.
David Gene Legros Jr. is charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools and criminal mischief.
