Patriot Portable Restrooms crews were performing a routine check of the facilities and knocked on each porta-potty to ensure all were empty for towing, company partner Chip Counterman said in a video statement on X.
When a unit was found locked, and the occupant refused to leave the porta-potty after a 10-minute warning, a worker flagged down a passing Kansas City police officer on a motorcycle.
The man said he had gone fishing in the portable toilet for his fallen Mountain Dew when he somehow ended up fully inside the facility’s raw sewage tank, according to a representative for Patriot Portable Restrooms, which provided the porta-johns for a World Cup event. (From YouTube API)
