Firefighters rescue man who wedged himself inside wall to hide from police but couldn't escape
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A central Indiana man wanted on a probation violation has been rescued by firefighters after he became wedged inside a wall of his home while trying to hide from police.
Officials say Steven Shuler was trying to avoid arrest Monday when he squeezed down a narrow hole in the attic floor near the chimney at his home in Monrovia.
Morgan Township Fire Chief Miguel Ongay says Shuler had to stay in his 16 inch-wide hiding place for more than a day because he couldn't climb out. A visiting friend found him Tuesday morning and called firefighters to retrieve him.
