Several rescue workers surrounded the chimney and threw down a rope. Within moments, the teen, Ranaldo Jack, in his socks, was pulled out.

After the teen was led down a ladder, he was taken down by two Gwinnett County police officers and placed in handcuffs. There were at least five police cars at the scene.
