Officials at the Carowinds Amusement Park in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday sentenced an unidentified teenager to a one year ban from the premises after having to rescue his ass from the inside of the Cosmic XL Bonus Game claw machine, the Associated Press reports.
The boy had crawled inside the machine to retrieve a comically oversized plush stuffed toy for unknown reasons though officials haven’t ruled out that it might have been to impress a girl, because he was high, or both. While the teen was able to climb in through the prize dispensary door, he was unable to escape out the same direction, requiring a park employee to come and unlock the side door normally meant to stock the claw machine with the prizes. The boy was apprehended by security on the spot and examined by park medical personnel before being ejected until next April.
