ORLANDO, Florida -- An alleged burglar told deputies that he jumped onto a roof and tried to break into a closed store because he was "thirsty and needed water."

When authorities pointed out the fact that the store was closed, the man said he planned on paying for the water.

Officers didn't believe his excuse and arrested him.
