A sanitation worker in Huber Heights, Ohio, was just trying to finish his morning route when he made a discovery that wasn’t exactly ‘recyclable.’ Locals say the man inside the bin was definitely not looking for his morning coffee.
Witnesses report the worker lifted the lid of a residential trash bin only to find a wanted suspect staring back at him. The man had reportedly fled from police during a traffic stop earlier that morning and decided the local garbage was his best chance at a getaway. Police were able to apprehend the ‘trash-dwelling’ fugitive without further incident, though the smell of his hiding spot likely lingered long after the handcuffs were on. If you’re looking for a better way to stay hidden, maybe just invest in some better camo gear.
HOWE WEIRD REACTION
Howe Weird here… I’ve heard of ‘taking out the trash,’ but this is next-level irony. I once hid in a closet to avoid my in-laws, but even I wouldn’t resort to a dumpster. I’m just picturing the sanitation worker’s face: ‘Sir, you’re not on the collection list.’ Honestly, the sheer desperation of hiding in a bin proves that crime really doesn’t pay—and it certainly doesn’t smell like roses. Even Howe Weird couldn’t make this up.
