NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A man hiding in the crawl space of a Nashville bar told police he was trying to hide after being chased by dogs, according to an arrest affidavit.

According to an arrest affidavit, the bar's staff notified police that a man had climbed into a crawl space. Schlabach, who was covered in drywall when found by police, allegedly kicked two large holes in the wall and damaged a "large amount" of the bar's audio/visual equipment, WZTV reported.
