California Man Rescued From Liquid Manure Pond, Immediately Arrested
A California man was arrested over Memorial Day weekend after spending nearly two hours in a car he crashed into a pond of liquid manure.
The suspect was detained on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) after local fire authorities responded to his distress call and found his vehicle on a dairy farm in unincorporated south Sacramento County, close to the City of Elk Grove.
The South Sacramento division of the California Highway Patrol confirmed in a social media post they received the call at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Monday.
The driver—who has not been named—told police he had crashed his vehicle into an "unknown water source" and it was quickly filling up with the liquid.
First responders with the Cosumnes Fire Department, which serves the cities of Elk Grove and Galt in Sacramento County, located the vehicle after around 50 minutes of searching, spotting it was "partially submerged in a liquid manure storage pond."

Usually when this kind of story makes the news, it is assumed it came from our state: Florida

"We often remind you on this Facebook page of the dangers of driving impaired," the CHP profile noted Monday, without naming the man. "This is a reminder that making the poor decision to drink and drive can land you in some deep [poop emoji.]"
In comments under the post, it was confirmed the suspect was not sprayed down by the fire department before being arrested and transported by the police officers.
There goes our resupply of disinfectant spray.......
Can you imagine putting that in the back of a patrol car?
