CHESNEE, S.C. (AP) — A Spartanburg County man has been rescued after he got stuck in a well while trying to recover some keys.
Multiple media outlets reported that 19-year-old Kendrick King of Chesnee was stuck about 20 feet down the well for about 45 minutes Tuesday afternoon.
King says his keys fell through a crack in the wood covering the well and he had a friend lower him into the well to try to retrieve them. The wench broke and King was stuck.
Chesnee Assistant Fire Chief Todd Mason asked fire departments in Cowpens and Spartanburg to use their special equipment to rescue people trapped in confined spaces.
King said he was sore and he had a small scratch from a piece of glass.
The keys are still in the well.
