An Altoona man who locked himself out of his house Sunday was locked up himself, after the failure of his creative attempt to get inside. 
 
 Jeffrey L. Jones, 35, apparently misplaced the keys to his house on the 800 block of 23rd Street, climbed to a roof in hopes of letting himself in, then got stuck, according to Sgt. Marshall Worling of the Altoona Police Department. 
 
 He called 911 for a rescue, which led to help from the Altoona Fire Department - and the discovery that Jones was wanted on a Blair County sheriff's warrant for costs and fines, according to officials at APD. 
 
 So police took him to Blair County Prison. 
 
 He owes about $750, according to a prison official. 
 
 Jones was not charged with a crime in connection with ascending to the roof, according to APD and the prison official. 
 
 Online court records for Jones show two active miscellaneous contempt cases awaiting payment.

– Police say a central Pennsylvania man who locked himself out of his house wound up locked up in jail once emergency responders realized he had unpaid court fines, reports the AP. The Altoona Mirror reports that after apparently misplacing his keys, 35-year-old Jeffrey Jones climbed onto the roof Sunday night while trying to get into his house through a window, but he had to call 911 when he got stuck. Altoona police say that's when they discovered Jones was wanted by the Blair County Sheriff's Office for failing to pay about $750 in court costs and fines. Court records show that Jones, who wasn't charged in connection with the roof climb, owes money in two active miscellaneous contempt cases. (At least he didn't try to sell drugs in a traffic courtroom.)
