Mushrooms and PCP Lead Naked Man to Sewer in Search of Kids. Gets Stuck for 36 Hours, and, Of Course, Kids Not Actually There March 3, 2011 - PhoenixNewTimes.com
PCP and hallucinogenic mushrooms seem to be to blame for the rescue of Eugene Gimzelberg, whose "trip" took him to the depths of the Gilbert sewer system in search of his kids. The children, of course, weren't actually in the sewer -- where he got stuck for 36 hours.
Last seen by his family on Tuesday, firefighters found Gimzelberg around 11:40 p.m. Wednesday, 40 feet deep in a sewer hole near Loop 202 and Higley Road.
Gilbert police Sergeant Bill Balafas tells New Times that police got a call Tuesday about a man (still clothed) behaving strangely and emptying things out of his wallet in a Gilbert neighborhood.
The cops went looking for Gimzelberg on Tuesday, when they found the stuff from his wallet, but didn't find him.
Balafas says another call came in the next night -- 36 hours later -- about screams coming from a field in Higley.
Sure enough, firefighters found Gimzelberg naked, except for one shoe, at the bottom of the sewer hole.
Gimzelberg told firefighters that his clothes had been ripped off by the current of the water in the sewer, but Gilbert fire spokesman Mike Connor tells New Times that there was less than an inch of water in the sewer.
Naturally, police asked him what the hell he was doing naked in a sewer.
Gimzelberg first told police he was getting his kids out of the sewer, but the cops were quick to find that story false.
"That obviously wasn't true because we already talked to his kids and they were fine," Balafas says.
Telling the cops and firefighters that he -- a naked 32-year-old man -- was 40 feet deep in a sewer looking for kids could be seen as a red flag for cops, but Balafas says he later recanted that story.
Gimzelberg told police he had smoked some weed and PCP, and then ate some mushrooms before apparently going nutso and stripping down for his trip into the sewer.
Balafas says Gimzelberg had been injured during his fall into the sewer hole, sustaining multiple skull fractures and damage to his lungs, and was still in the hospital as of noon Thursday.
Connor says not only was the fall into the sewer life-threatening, but firefighters also discovered Gimzelberg was showing signs of hypothermia.
"He'd been in the water or whatever junk was in there for quite some time," Connor says.
When he's released from the hospital, police say Gimzelberg will be greeted with citations for trespassing and criminal damage.

That could have gone a whole lot worse. Lucky escape. Almost sounded like Josh Todd was on another one of his soul searching trips again

Funny you should say that, the thread title alone made me think of your post. So how many people added that to their siggy... 
Sounds like Eugene had a bad trip.

LOL. The rushing torrent ripped his clothes from his body?
Mushrooms and PCP sounds like one hell of a combination.
