Man stuck head-first in drain after dropping wallet

newslite--21-year-old Jared Medeiros had apparently climbed into the manhole head first after dropping his wallet and found himself unable to climb back out.

Police were first on the scene - after Jared had been in there about 40 minutes - but despite their best efforts the "slightly intoxicated" man could not be removed.

It then fell to firefighters to rescue him and pull him free from the tight spot. He was soon released to his mother with minor scrapes and bruises. There was no news on the wallet.The wonderfully worded police report said: "Ceres Officers responded to the 2200 Block of Hale Aloha Way for a report of a person flailing his legs from the ground."The officers arrived and discovered two legs kicking outside of a manhole".
