 |  |  | (Way Too) Extreme Draining in Denton

Man stuck in tunnel accused of evading police

A man who spent more than nine hours in a drainage tunnel was in jail Wednesday on an accusation of evading arrest.
Pablo Hernandez was in police custody at the Denton City Jail Wednesday after being released from Denton Regional Medical Center. His bail has not been set.
Mr. Hernandez was found in a vacant house in the 500 block of South Bell Avenue at about 9:25 a.m. Tuesday.
When the owner of the vacant house and a police officer searched the outside of the property, they saw a man running through yards near the Bell Avenue and Robertson Street intersection.
"An officer walked up to the front door and saw a man jump out a back window. He ran and the officer chased him," said Jim Bryan, a police spokesman.
The man ran for several blocks jumping fences before he ran down a drainage canal and crawled into a small pipe about 24-inches in diameter. The pipe branches south under South Locust Street.
Police officers waited for the man to come out of the hole but eventually called a drainage expert.
The fire department was also called to perform a specialized rescue from a confined space.
They pumped fresh air into the pipe as temperatures climbed into the 90s. Officials feared the man might suffer from heat exhaustion or poisoning from hydrogen sulfide fumes coming from nearby sewage pipes.
City drainage workers dropped small robotic cameras into the ground to locate the man. At about 6 p.m., the cameras spotted the man's feet.
Workers had to dig to rescue the man who had been in the tunnel for about 10 hours. He was hospitalized overnight and released to the police. |
J'ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte.
La voici: "Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules!"
Dieu m'a exaucé. |
