On Friday, Seattle police responded to a call that a shirtless man had somehow gotten himself stuck in a basketball hoop.

The police debated charging the man with property destruction.
Shirtless man removed from Cal Anderson basketball hoop. He may be arrested for property destruction, or at least goal-tending.

But ultimately they didn't, and instead sent him in for a much needed mental evaluation.
Oh, and we counted at least 19 total cops, firefighters and EMTs.
