Katina Powell’s attorney once passed out in a trash can

Can’t make this stuff up. Well, maybe with her, some things can be made up. But it looks like the attorney representing Katina Powell once made headlines for passing out in a trash can in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

From WAVE3.com in 2009:

Larry Wilder, the attorney for Jeffersonville’s city council, has a lot of people wondering how he ended up asleep in a neighbor’s trash can.

No one has any problems with Wilder’s skills as the city council’s attorney – he’s lost only one case in 17 months on the job. But some people are now questioning his personal choices after a neighbor found him sleeping in his trash can early Tuesday morning.

That neighbor called 911 for help, and WAVE 3 obtained a transcript of the call:

DISPATCHER:
Jeffersonville police.

CALLER:
I’ve got a … and don’t laugh … I’ve got a man halfway in my garbage can, the garbage is turned over and there’s man in it … laying in it. I don’t know if he’s drunk or what.

DISPATCHER:
OK.

DISPATCHER:
He’s going to start for 3503 Elk Pointe Boulevard. There’s a subject in this guy’s trash can, he’s drunk and he’s half in and half out.

DISPATCHER:
Did you put him in the trash can sir?

CALLER:
No Ma’am.

Just another piece to this crazy puzzle.
