Idiots for the day

Sarah Begley has an article in Time about a pair of idiots (and stoned ones at that):

We all struggle with locks sometimes, but usually the struggle ends before 48 hours have passed. A Florida couple called 911, saying they’d been chased into a closet on the campus of Daytona State College and had been locked in for two days. But when the police arrived on the scene, the door was not locked.
Police discovered human feces in the closet, as well as copper scouring pads that the Orlando Sentinel reports are sometimes used as crack-smoking paraphernalia. No drugs were found.
John Arwood, 31, and Amber Campbell, 25, were charged with trespassing. It is not the first brush with law enforcement for either person.
A police officer tested the door by entering the closet and closing it behind him. It did not lock.

The original (and more detailed) story is by Gal Tziperman Lotan in the Orlando Sentinel:

A man and a woman thought they were trapped in a Daytona State College closet for two days, until police let them out and found out the two could have opened the door themselves.
John Arwood, 31, and Amber Campbell, 25, claimed they were chased into the closet, Daytona Beach police said.
After two days in a Marine and Environmental Science Center janitor's closet, where police found human feces and copper scouring pads sometimes used to smoke crack, Arwood called 911 from his cell phone, police said. Officers tracked his phone's location and let him and Campbell out. It's unclear why Arwood didn't call 911 until Tuesday.
A police officer, trying to figure out how the two could have gotten locked in, went into the closet and closed the door, police said. The door did not lock.
Officers did not find drugs in the closet, police said.
Arwood and Campbell were charged with trespassing. Campbell was also charged with violating her probation, which she was given after resisting arrest in 2013. Arwood's criminal record includes five prior jail sentences in Florida since 2000, for offenses including armed burglary, possession of more than twenty grams of marijuana, and fleeing law enforcement.
