(APPLETON, WI.)–Appleton police say a man hid in a dumpster to try to get away from offices on the city’s north side Wednesday morning. Sergeant Dave Lund said the 36-year-old Medford man ran away from a parking lot, at Richmond Street and Wisconsin Avenue, around 8:15 a.m. He said the suspect started running through backyards. City workers picking up a recycling dumpster at a nearby business heard a man yelling from the hopper of their truck. Lund says the man got out and ran off again. Officers found him in a yard, after he collapsed from an apparent head injury that he suffered when he was dumped into the truck. He was taken to a hospital. “The man had an outstanding warrant,” and Lund said he’ll be taken to the Outagamie County jail once he’s cleared medically. A police officer, treated at a hospital was released.
