A woman in Michigan was rescued from an outhouse after climbing inside to retrieve her Apple Watch, state police said.

The woman, who was not named, was found trapped in an outhouse at a boat launch at Dixon Lake on Tuesday morning, Michigan state police said in a statement.

She was heard yelling for help from inside the outhouse, the statement said.

When officers arrived at the scene, she told them she had dropped her Apple Watch in the toilet, it added.

"She then lowered herself inside the toilet to retrieve it and could not get out," wrote the state police.

Police spokesperson Derrick Carroll said the woman at least managed to find her Apple Watch, per Detroit Free Press.

"She was in the muck, if you will," Carroll told the outlet, adding that she wasn't injured.

The police statement said officers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan State Police troopers, and Otsego County emergency services responded to the incident.

The officers removed the toilet from the outhouse and used a strap to "hoist the woman out to safety," it added.

"If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area," the police statement said. "Serious injury may occur."

Some Apple Watches can cost up to $800, while simpler models retail at around $249.
