(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.

Just another republican pervert, trying to get into the holding tank so he could watch other men and especially little boys exposed.

"They say he didn''t suffer any serious injuries."

Give it a few days. There is bound to be some E-coli or such to come out of this.

what we have a man who used the porta potty to **** and got drunk and disrobed. So this is what we are paying them them to do. Years ago they handled it different. They drink,run half naked where we live and no I don''t call the pigs as it is not the answer. I was told years ago if the place is on fire to get the hell out naked or not. they will throw a blanket over the person and that is it. I alway sleep in my clothes..I am TOO tired to hunt for my nightie.

Yep. I thought the story would say he was lit a bit too much. All that purple dye they put in those things "SMURFED" his decor up some. Interesting how some folks can drink responsibly while others think one more is gonna make them feel relaxed like the first two,......several times over.
