Ill-fated rest stop retrieval
Crews pull man from Filer rest area toilet after he tried to retrieve his
keys
By David Cooper
Times-News writer
You could call it a new version of "the road less traveled."
Filer emergency crews retrieved an unidentified Ada County man from a rest
area toilet Thursday afternoon, after he climbed into a waste tank and became
stuck.
The man was found just before noon by another driver that stopped at the
U.S. Highway 30 rest area west of town, according to Filer Police Chief Cliff
Johnson. Filer police responded to a 911 call, along with the Filer Fire
Department, Filer Quick Response and a paramedic from St. Luke's Magic
Valley Medical Center.
Johnson said the man, who asked police not to be identified, was unable to
find his car keys after using the lavatory. Thinking his keys had fallen in the
tank, the man removed a round plastic cover at the base of the toilet and
climbed in to find them. Once inside he was unable to pull himself out, and
waited until someone else arrived.
"He hadn't been there too long, only 10 or 15 minutes," Johnson said.
At least 10 emer-gency response personnel responded to the 911 call,
according to Johnson and a dispatch supervisor at Southern Idaho Regional
Communication Center.
Eventually the man was retrieved through an access hole used to pump the
waste out of the tank.
"It took some lifting to get him out, and he had cut himself pretty good trying to
get himself out," Johnson said.
The man was allowed to wash off with the fire truck hose at the scene, where
he made another painful discovery.
"That's when he discovered the keys were still in his back pocket," Johnson
said.
Both the SIRCOMM supervisor and Johnson said crews didn't ask the man for
his name, which wasn't required since no charges or citation were issued.
"He didn't want to give it to us, and that was fine with us," said Taylor
Hunsaker, a dispatch supervisor at SIRCOMM. "We didn't want to embarrass
him any more than that."
"It was recommended that he seek some medical treatment and get himself
cleaned up," Johnson said.

Guess he was in deep chit

that's like the farmer who was pulling up his bibs and a quarter fell out of the pocket and into the two-holer..

he stands up, looks at the quarter, then reaches into his wallet and tosses a $20 bill in the hole, then climbs in an retrieves both.

his wife asks, "WTF did you do that for?"
the farmer replied, "You didn't think I was gonna go in there for just a quarter, did you?"
