Overview

• Carlos Owens, 35, became lodged near the flue of Mrs Rockwell’s Pavilion chimney while trying to retrieve his dog from a bathroom that locks automatically at 10 p.m.
• Fire crews had to remove portions of the brick structure, resulting in an estimated $5,000 to $10,000 in repair costs.
• Owens was charged with burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief by Bristol police following his rescue.
• Park officials say the bathroom doors can still be opened from the inside overnight and recommend contacting authorities rather than attempting risky rescues.
• Owens was released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 7, prompting calls for clearer guidance on nonviolent alternatives to forced entry.
