A US COUPLE WERE ‘trapped’ in a closet for two days because they didn’t realise they could open the door themselves.

John Arwood and Amber Campbell of Daytona Beach, Florida, claim they were chased into a closet in Daytona State College on Sunday.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that after 48 hours in the closet, they finally called 911 and informed police that they had been locked in for two days.

Police found them surrounded by their own excrement - they also discovered copper scouring pads, which they believe are sometimes used to smoke crack. No drugs were found.

The couple was charged with trespassing, and Campbell was also charged with violating her parole.

Just to make sure, police officers went into closet and closed the door, only to discover it did not lock at all. The human race, ladies and gentlemen.
