A man was freed from a drainage well in Chandler Wednesday afternoon, two days after becoming trapped. Chandler Fire crews responded to a rescue call near Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road shortly after 2 p.m. and found a man trapped inside the well. He was not hurt and told rescuers that he had been in the well for about two days. Fire officials believe he went into the well voluntarily and became trapped when it was “inadvertently covered.” Once crews removed the drainage hole cover, he was able to climb out on his own. He was checked by medics and is now in Chandler police custody. Investigators are now trying to determine why the man entered the drainage well earlier this week. The incident happened in the same area as another well rescue earlier this month.
