ALAMOSA, Colorado (KRDO) - It turns out you can't always "have it your way" at Burger King. The City of Alamosa says a suspect is in custody after barricading himself in the fast food joint's bathroom.

According to city officials, police took to the Burger King located at 2501 Main Street Friday morning. City officials said a man had locked himself in the bathroom, and water was seen coming from underneath the door.

Thankfully, the restaurant was safely evacuated, and city officials said there wasn't a threat to the surrounding community.

However, the situation escalated enough that a SWAT team was dispatched, according to city officials.

The Alamosa Police Department says the suspect crawled into the ceiling from inside the bathroom and kicked the wall out to the outside, which can be seen in the photo below:
