A "slighty intoxicated" California man dove into a manhole last week to retrieve his wayward wallet and got stuck up to his waist - with his legs sticking up in the air, police said.
Jared Medeiros ended up in the bizarre jam along Hale Aloha Way in Ceres, a city just south of Modesto.
When cops arrived, they tried unsuccessfully to extricate the 21-year-old. It later took four firefighters to yank Medeiros free.
"Jared said he had dropped his wallet in the manhole and decided to retrieve it," Ceres Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jose Berber said. "In the process, he became stuck."
Medeiros was trapped head-first in the curbside manhole for at least 40 minutes screaming for help before police arrived.
The young man suffered several minor scrapes and bruises but refused medical treatment.
Police described Medeiros as "slightly intoxicated but not impaired."
It is unclear if he ever got his wallet.
