Jared Medeiros was drunk when he wedged himself in an 18-inch storm drain. Neighbors heard the 21-year-old man as he began to yell for help while kicking his legs in the air. He was only visible from the knees down.

Medeiros had spent 40 minutes stuck in the storm drain, but he was conscious when emergency crews arrived. He was having trouble breathing and only minor injuries.

He told officers he was trying to retrieve some personal items that had fallen into the drain. The officers found his keys, cell phone and cash in the drain.
