LEBANON — Emergency dispatchers receive thousands of calls every year, but none like the one last weekend. A man got stuck in a port-a-potty – and he needed help.
On Sunday, 31-year-old Shannon Hunter of Lebanon used his cell phone to call 911 – from inside a port-a-potty.
Police say he had been drinking, took off his clothes and somehow, immersed himself in the holding tank.
"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," said deputy fire commissioner Chris Miller.
Rescue crews actually had to cut apart the potty to pull him out safely.
"I guess you would have to say the whole thing's called vandalism of a spot-a-pot," said witness Charles Haws.
All joking aside, emergency crews did need to treat the situation seriously due to the waste and chemicals found inside the port-a-potty.
Authorities say Hunter did not suffer any serious injuries. His reputation – well, that's a different story.
Police have charged Hunter with being drunk in public. He's also facing charges for creating a health code violation. They still have no idea why he was in the port-a-potty with his clothes off.
