Police rescue NJ woman stuck in recycling bucket
PEMBERTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Police say an elderly woman may have spent as long as three days trapped in a large recycling bucket in her garage before being rescued.
Police say 76-year-old Mary Davis was conscious and happy to be found when officers discovered her around 8 a.m. Tuesday. She was taken to Virtua Hospital in Mount Holly to be examined.
It's believed Davis accidentally fell backward and became wedged in the 3-foot tall, 20-gallon plastic recycling drum, possibly after being knocked off balance by her cocker spaniel.
Neighbors in the suburban community about 15 miles south of Trenton described Davis as a "small, frail" woman who has had hip and knee surgeries.
Police were called after neighbor Michele Ayala-Godwin became concerned that Davis hadn't answered her phone or door for three days.
