San Diego student accidentally left in cell for five days

Daniel Chong, 24, survived by drinking his own urine after he was left in holding cell with no food, water or toilet

A San Diego college student was forgotten by federal drug agents and left in a holding cell for five days without food, water or access to a toilet.

Daniel Chong said he drank his own urine to survive. He also said he bit into his glasses to break them and tried to use a shard to scratch "Sorry Mom" into his arm, according to the newspaper U-T San Diego. The 24-year-old engineering student from University of California, San Diego, was swept up as one of nine suspects in a drug raid on 21 April that netted 18,000 ecstasy pills, other drugs and weapons.

Chong said federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents told him he would be let go. One agent even promised to drive him home from the DEA field office in Kearny Mesa, he said.

I'm amused...He bit into his glasses?? Really...so he could carve a message on his arm....to Mom.

Maybe step on the glasses instead??

The suit is for $20 million. God bless attorneys.

He was hospitalized for his conditions. I’d say he’s telling the truth. Incompetent LEOs won’t be punished though. There was a story a month or so ago about a man held without trial for 2 years in solitary. No medical care at all or hygiene. The DA simply forgot him, and I can only assume the warden was an idiot who paid no attention to his job.

“I would believe him over a lot of the politicians we have today. “

How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving!

You have to read the whole story and realize that he was high on drugs...and hallucinating...and that's more likely why he was hospitalized.

People live a lot longer than 5 days without food and water.

For $20 million....I'm sure he'll tell any lie his attorney "suggests".

"People live a lot longer than 5 days without food and water."

If he had taken ecstasy, he was probably dehydrated before he went in the cell.

I’m not saying he wasn’t dehydrated....more that he was the cause of his own demise.

Stacy Keetch was out looking for Cheech when he left Chong in the cell after getting his leg peed on.

I was sitting in the coffee shop
Just minding my own affair
When all of a sudden, this
Policeman caught me unaware

Said, is your name Pedro
I says, yeah, I guess so
Said, then come with me cause
You’re the man we been looking for

I said, hey, man
I been framed
Hey, no, really, man
I was framed

Aw, I never do nothing wrong, man
But every time I get the blame
I been framed

They put me in the lineup
And let the bright lights shine
There was ten poor dudes like me
Standing in that line

I knew I was the victim
Of somebody’s evil plan
When this scroungy looking dude
Came up and said,
‘Yeah that’s him, man’

Hey, wait a minute, man
I been framed, man
Aw, listen to me, judge
I was framed

I never do nothing wrong
But every time I get the blame
Hey, I been framed

Then the prosecuting attorney
Started prosecuting on me
That dude gave me the first
Second, and third degree
He said where were you
On the night of July 29
I said, man, I was home in bed
He said, judge, that man’s lying

I said wait a minute, man
I was framed, man
Hey, judge, listen to me, man
Really, you gotta believe me
I been framed, man

I never do nothing wrong
But every time I get the blame
Oh, I was framed

Now look, I deny the charges
Of having any weed
And I also deny the charges
Of taking any speed

I deny the charges
Of selling any grass
But when the judge
Looked down and said guilty
I said, judge, you can kiss my

Framed
Judge, I’m telling you the truth
I was framed, man

I never do nothing wrong
But every time I get the blame
Hey, I was framed

Oh, framed
You gotta believe me, judge
That wasn’t even my stuff
I was holding it for a friend, man

Could this face life, man
Oh, come on, judge
Don’t send me to camp, man
I just got my car fixed, man

Look, I just got a new
Tattoo and everything, man
Oh, man, what a bummer, man

Oh, come on, judge
Gimme a break, please
Aw, judge, come on, man
Don’t take me away, I was framed
Man, really I been framed

“Demise” doesn’t mean what you think it means. He survived.
