In this era of cheap disposable cell phones I doubt a restriction on
blocked calls will lessen the flow of crank calls. Heck even the vagrants
in our area have disposable phones

OAK PARK - As a commercial garbage truck started to compact a load
Thursday, Oak Park police got a frantic cell phone call from a Detroit man
trapped inside the rubbish.

They spent about 10 minutes stopping and checking garbage trucks around the
city after the call came in around 2 p.m., police said, before finding the
man unharmed.

"He said, 'I fell asleep in a Dumpster and a trash truck has now
picked up the Dumpster and emptied the load in the back of the truck,'
" said Oak Park Lt. Mike Pousak.

"He said, 'I don't know where I'm at or what truck I'm in but I was in
the area of Coolidge and North End Street.' "

As the man was talking to a police dispatcher, he said the truck was
starting to compact its load.

"We didn't know what location he was at or what the name of the
garbage truck company was," Pousak said. "Then, as he was talking
to our dispatcher, the battery in his cell phone became dislodged and we
lost contact with him."

By then Oak Park officers had already checked several commercial garbage
trucks with no luck.

Finally, an officer spotted a garbage truck in a parking lot near a
business on Coolidge just north of Eight Mile Road, Pousak said. "The
truck driver was there to pick up another load and begin compacting,"
he said. "An officer went and pounded on the side of the truck and
somebody pounded back. Thankfully, we had found the right truck." The
driver emptied the full load of garbage out in the parking lot and Oak Park
officers climbed through the garbage and found the man, Pousak said.
