Couple "Trapped" in Unlocked Closet for Two Days Maybe Did a Little Meth
Also they pooped in there.
No, the tale of John Arwood and Amber Campbell is not a proud one, nor is it a tale free of the stench of human shit. The pair spent two full days without leaving a custodial closet at Florida's Daytona State College before being "freed" by police on Tuesday, and I write "freed" because the closet in which they were "trapped" did not have a "lock" on its "door," according to police.
Officials apprehended the couple after Arwood called 911 from inside the closet, using location data from his call. When they got there, they found feces along with copper scouring pads "sometimes used to smoke crack," the Orlando Sentinel reports. Those could have been innocuous—it was a janitor's closet, after all. Investigators also detected "the odor of meth," according to local TV outlet WFTV.
Arwood and Campbell told the police they were "chased" into the broom closet on Sunday. Both were charged with trespassing, and Campbell was charged with a probation violation.
