It’s a new year, but people in Florida are still doing totally Florida things. Daytona Beach police arrested John Arwood and Amber Campbell earlier this week after they spent two days in a Daytona State College closet for two days.
Arwood, 31, and Campbell, 25, were convinced that they were trapped in the closet. But it turns out that they could have just walked out at any time, since the closet wasn’t locked.
Police told the Orlando Sentinel that the two were found in a janitor’s closet at the college’s Marine and Environmental Science Center. They were so convinced that they couldn’t get out that they actually relieved themselves, so police discovered human feces in the closet.
On Tuesday, Arwood decided to call 911 with his cell phone. Police haven’t figured out why it took Arwood so long to call them.
WFTV reports that investigators say they smelled meth when they found the two. However, they didn’t find drugs in the closet.
The two were charged with trespassing, while Campbell was also charged with violating her probation, which stems from her 2013 resisting arrest charge.
Arwood also has a long list of criminal offences, including armed robbery and marijuana possession. He’s had five prior jail sentences in Florida.
At least when R. Kelly got trapped in a closet, he was really trapped.
