A couple spent two days believing they were locked inside a closet, only to discover the door was unlocked.

The couple claimed they were chased into the closet in a college in Daytona Beach, the United States, the Orlando Sentinel said.

John Arwood and Amber Campbell called police from a mobile phone and said they were trapped inside the closet.

After police let the couple out, one officer tried to figure out how they could have been locked into the closet and closed the door, but then realised the door didn’t lock.

The police found human feces and copper scouring pads, which are used to smoke drugs, inside the closet, but found no drugs.

Arwood and Campbell were immediately freed from the closet, but instantly charged with trespassing.

Campbell was also charged with violating her probation, which she was given for resisting arrest in 2013.

Arwood already had a criminal record that included five prior jail sentences for offences including armed burglary, possession of 20 grams marijuana as well as fleeing law enforcement.
