A woman had to make a rather embarrassing call to police after getting stuck in a charity donation bin.

Hot on the heels of a police list of the most embarrassing 999 calls from the past 12 months, the red-faced woman was forced to ring for assistance last Saturday.

‘We received a call from a lady that was actually stuck in a donation bin,’ explained fire chief Brian Stanaland.

The woman, who has not been named, became stuck after she dropped a tennis bracelet in the bin and jumped in after it.


‘I came down here and was kind of looking around, looking around, looking around and I got inside it,’ she told police in the US state of Oklahoma.



‘And I have MS so it doesn’t take much before I start really cramping up and hurting you know. And I can’t get out.’

She was eventually rescued by officers after a couple of hours in the bin, although it is unclear if she found the bracelet.
