Cops Find Suspect Neck-Deep in Manure

Police say that officers searching for a man wanted on methamphetamine charges found him hiding neck-deep in a liquid manure pit at a northeastern Indiana farm.

Noble County sheriff's deputies thought they'd lost 52-year-old Thomas Hovis Jr. until an officer spotted him in the tank beneath an outbuilding floor on the farm near Albion.

Chief Deputy Doug Harp says Hovis had been neck-deep in the combination of hog and dog feces for at least an hour Tuesday evening. He later became combative and had to be shocked twice with a stun gun.

Hovis was treated at a hospital for hypothermia before he being taken to jail.

A Steuben County magistrate on Wednesday ordered him held without bail because he missed court hearings in February and March.

This is probably the most disturbing story I've heard in... maybe forever! It's so nasty, and yet I cannot get the 'image' out of my mind. (As she runs to barf one more time.)

Do the human gene pool a favor next time officers and just shoot the meth head and leave him to rot (rather quickly) in the manure pool.

Instead of sham-whoa it was sham-poo

Guess he was stupid AND full of sh**!

[MPHgrad]

I would like to know how the officers transported him to jail and if it was inside the car, they deserve raises.

They had to taze him, too. I would have had a water hose in one hand and my tazer in the other till he was squeeky clean.

It says he was suffering from hypothermia...most likely as another poster had commented) from a thorough hose down.
