A WOMAN wanted on identity theft charges has been arrested in Oregon in the US after a construction worker lifted the lid of a portable toilet to find her hiding inside.
The Register-Guard reports that 27-year-old Treasure Dawn Shockey, who had two warrants for her arrest, ran when police in Eugene tried to talk to her on Saturday.
Police say a witness told them she saw the woman run through her yard and climb a fence onto the property of the Eugene Swim and Tennis Club.
About 20 minutes later, a construction worker told police he had lifted the lid of a porta-potty and been surprised to see her inside. Police say Shockey left the toilet and they arrested her.
Her public defender, David Saydack, didn’t immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment. – Nampa-AP
