Man found in WI basement covered in BBQ sauce

This guy could be a candidate for Marylander of the year, if he weren’t in Wisconsin. Since this article isn’t from the AP, I’ll liberally quote copy.

A couple telephoned police in the middle of the night after finding a man in their basement covered head to toe in barbecue sauce.

“He told the officers that it was urban camouflage,” said the homeowner. The homeowners say they woke up to whistling sounds.

The husband grabbed his shotgun and headed toward the basement where he found the sauced-up intruder. He held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

The guy told officers he covered himself in barbecue sauce because he wanted to hide from the government. He now faces burglary charges.

No mention of the brand or source of the sauce. I devoutly hope it wasn’t Pigman’s. I’m definitely on board with the hiding from the government part, though.
