Cops Find Suspect Neck-Deep in Manure

(AP)  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.
