Sticky Situation

ELKTON, Md., April 7 (UPI) -- A man who sat on a glue-covered toilet seat in a Maryland Walmart suffered minor injuries but authorities said the perpetrator of the prank could land in jail.

The prank was actually a day early for April Fools' Day, CNN reported. Police, paramedics and firefighters were summoned to the store in Elkton Thursday, March 31, at about 7 p.m. EDT.

Firefighters spent 15 minutes getting the victim off the john. The victim, identified only as a 48-year-old man, had to be taken to Union Hospital of Cecil County with the toilet seat still glued to his rear end, Lt. Matthew Donnelly of the Elkton Police Department said.

The seat was finally removed at the hospital, leaving the man with only minor injuries. Donnelly said the person who carried out the prank could be charged with second-degree assault. Investigators say the attack appears to have been someone's idea of fun and the victim was simply unlucky.
