EUGENE, Ore. — A woman wanted on identity theft charges has been arrested in Oregon after a construction worker lifted the lid of a portable toilet to find her hiding inside.
The Register-Guard reported that Treasure Dawn Shockey, 27, who had two warrants for her arrest, ran when police in Eugene tried to talk to her 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 port-a-potty and was 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.
