Police received a report that “a suspicious vehicle” was parked on a property near Santa Rosa, a local news site reports.
When an officer went to look, no driver was found. The officer did see a hat hanging from an agricultural device near the parked car. As the officer approached, he saw that there was something stuck in the vineyard fan tube.
According to the police, the man had been trapped in the tube of the machine for two days. The fire brigade had to be called in to free the man from his predicament. The Santa Rosa Fire Department shared photos of the rescue on Instagram.
“The man is lucky that someone has seen and reported the ‘suspicious vehicle’. Otherwise it could have ended a lot more tragically,” said the local police.
It is not yet known why the man had climbed into the machine. The man himself claimed that he liked to take pictures of old agricultural machines. But according to the police, the man had more methamphetamine than photographic equipment. In addition, the agricultural machine was “not old”.
After the fire service freed the man from the tube, the man was taken to hospital because he had suffered injuries. Police hope the man has learned his lesson after this hiding. The man is charged with trespassing and drug possession.
