Indiana police thought a drug suspect they were chasing in April in rural Noble County had gotten clean away, until a sharp-eyed officer spotted him neck deep in a manure tank beneath the floor of an outbuilding.
According to Associated Press reports, police believe the man had been hiding in liquid pig manure – and dog feces – for more than an hour before he was rescued . . .
er . . . arrested.
The suspect had missed scheduled court appearances in a neighbouring county in February and March on charges related to methamphetamines. He was treated in hospital for hypothermia before being taken to jail, but only after being shocked twice with a stun gun.
