A man and a woman thought they were trapped in a Florida closet for two
days until police let them out on Tuesday – and found out the two could
have opened the door themselves.
John Arwood, 31, and Amber Campbell, 25, claimed they were chased into
the closet at Daytona State College on Sunday, Daytona Beach police
said.
After two days in a Marine and Environmental Science Center janitor's
closet, where police found human faeces and copper scouring pads
sometimes used to smoke crack, Arwood called 911 from his cell phone,
police said.
Arwood and Campbell were charged with trespassing. Campbell was also charged with violating her probation, which she was given after resisting arrest in 2013. Arwood's criminal record includes five prior jail sentences in Florida since 2000 for offenses including armed burglary, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, and fleeing law enforcement.
Officers tracked his phone's location and let him and Campbell out. It's unclear why Arwood didn't call 911 until Tuesday. A police officer, trying to figure out how the two could have got locked in, went into the closet and closed the door, police said. The door did not lock. Officers did not find drugs in the closet, police said.
