(La Porte, IN) - Doing their best impression of Lassie, La Porte city police rescued a man from a well. Unfortunately for him, he was wanted by authorities.

On Monday night officers received information that a subject with felony warrants was inside of a residence. After getting the owner’s permission, the male subject was located inside of a well that was approximately six to seven feet deep. He advised officers that he was stuck and unable to crawl out.

After about 15 minutes of effort, the felon was freed from the well, covered in all kinds of muck, and eventually transported to the La Porte County Jail.

Neither his identity nor further details have been released.
