SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) —
Authorities say a 26-year-old man is in critical condition after falling
21 floors in the garbage chute of an apartment building in upstate New
York after robbing a bank.
Police in Syracuse say Robin
Gutheridge robbed a Chase Bank branch Thursday and fled on foot.
Detectives learned he was seen entering an apartment building a few blocks away.

While officers searched the
building, a maintenance worker told them he could hear someone calling
for help from a garbage chute in the basement. Police say Gutheridge was
found trapped near a compactor, with some of the bank's money with him.
Officers say they believe he had climbed into the chute on the 21st floor and fell to the basement.
A phone listing for Gutheridge couldn't be found. It couldn't immediately be determined if he had a lawyer. It was unclear if he had been bathed at the hospital since his arrest.
