Pokemon Go fail: Woman calls 911 after getting stuck in tree
Authorities say a South Jersey woman’s quest to catch a Pokemon in a cemetery led her to call 911 after she got stuck in a tree.
Firefighters in Clarksboro, New Jersey said that the unidentified young adult climbed a tree inside the Eglington Cemetery Tuesday night.
She called 911 and the East Greenwhich Township Fire and Rescue arrived to get her down with a ladder.
Chief Rob Gould told WCAU-TV that “she was a bit embarrassed at that point.” Fire officials didn’t release her name to spare her additional embarrassment.
The fire department used a Facebook post to warn people playing in the town to watch where they are going so no one gets hurt.
