Naked Man Rescued From Porta-Potty
Man Called 911 From The Toilet's Holding Tank; Rescue Workers Had To Cut Him Out

(AP) Rescue crews had to cut apart a portable toilet to rescue a man who got stuck naked inside the potty.

Authorities say 31-year-old Shannon Hunter, of Lebanon, Pa., used his cell phone to call 911 on Sunday from inside a portable toilet.

Police say Hunter had been drinking and had taken off his clothes. Somehow, he immersed himself in the holding tank.

Deputy fire commissioner Chris Miller told WPMT-TV, "I've been on the job in one form or fashion for 21 years, and this is the first port-a-potty rescue I've ever had."

Police charged Hunter with public drunkenness and creating a health code violation, but they have no idea why he was in the toilet with his clothes off. They say he didn't suffer any serious injuries.

===========================================

This was posted earlier on a private message board I'm on, and my first thought was that the Otters might appreciate it.

My second thought was that maybe one of the Otters was the actual guy rescued....

On the plus side, if the porta-potty was recently cleaned, he could get a gig with these guys....

That's what I was wondering. He took off all his clothes, but still managed to have his phone with him when he went into the tank.

hell of a story there...

This just in...

Authorities have released two photographs of messages written on the inside wall of the portable toilet.

They are not confirming if Mr. Hunter read the messages before his immersion into the tank below...

...Authorities have now listed Chuck Norris as a "Person of Interest" in this case. More details will be provided as they become available...

Actually, you misspelled the name. It's Chunk Norris.

No, but I am surprised I don't know him as I do go to the bar he was at from time to time.

This was not a big newstory around here until it became national now everybody is talking about it.
