A woman was rescued from an awkward situation by first responders after bystanders heard her yelling for help.

First responders were called to the Dixon Lake boat launch on Sterling PrestonTuesday morning after a woman was heard screaming for help, Michigan State Police said in a statement. When they arrived at the scene, they found the woman stuck inside an outhouse toilet.

The woman told authorities she had dropped her Apple Watch in the toilet and lowered herself inside in an attempt to retrieve it when she got stuck and could not get out.
