JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - Larry Wilder, the attorney for Jeffersonville's city council, has a lot of people wondering how he ended up asleep in a neighbor's trash can.
No one has any problems with Wilder's skills as an attorney - he's lost only one case in 17 months on the job. But some people are now questioning his personal choices after a neighbor found him sleeping in his trash can early Tuesday morning.
That neighbor called 911 for help, and WAVE 3 obtained a transcript of the call:
DISPATCHER:
Jeffersonville police.
CALLER:
I've got a ... and don't laugh ... I've got a man halfway in my garbage can, the garbage is turned over and there's man in it ... laying in it. I don't know if he's drunk or what.
DISPATCHER:
OK.
DISPATCHER:
Did you put him in the trash can sir?
CALLER:
No Ma'am.
WAVE 3 obtained three pictures that were taken anonymously, showing Wilder asleep inside the can.
It's not clear if the neighbor knew the person inside was Wilder.
