Authorities have not yet released the name of the person or any possible charges.

That didn’t stop people on social media from speculating as to his reasons.

“Guess he needed a place to stay outta this heat,” wrote Cyndi Hastings-Elmore.

Shayneah VanWagnen joked, “I’ll do this so I can call in tomorrow.”

“He couldn’t figure out the pull method,” Morgan Reeves speculated.
