What movie is this ?

I saw it on TV late night a while ago. There is a guy who gets lost on the wrong side of town and seperated from his friends. He is mistaken for a burglar who has been robbing homes in this city neighborhood. He is chased by a mob, meets some artist/sculptor chick and she puts him into a statue of paper mache or something like that to help him escape. I have to figure this out! It's killing me! Does anyone know what movie I'm talking about?
