Parking Ticket Paid with Poop!

Worker Sickened by Envelope Containing Dog Feces

M.S.Medina
A man was so irate with getting a parking ticket while parked in front of his residence, that he decided to give back to the local police department. What he decided to give in a fit of anger will cost him. In a story written by AP on the Website www.cbs2.com/watercooler The 22 year old man was charged with Disorderly Conduct in a complaint filed at the Mower County District Court for sending dog feces along with the payment for his parking fine. It was not clear why the man received the parking ticket.

The man admitted to putting his dog's feces into an envelope along with his payment, while angry with police about receiving the ticket. He claimed he immediately regretted the decision after dropping the payment complete with the poop, into a drop box at the Law Enforcement Center in Austin. He says that he realized almost right away that the envelope would probably be opened by an office worker and not a police officer. he was unable to retrieve the envelope.

A female office employee in the Austin Police Department noticed something wasn't quite right when she emptied the mail from the drop box. She smelled a foul odor and eventually found her hands and desk stained with a sticky, smelly, brown liquid. The woman went home and awoke the next morning with a bad headache and persistent vomiting. She was hospitalized for two days for an illness yet to be determined.

The young man has been ordered to appear before the court on June 15, 2007.

    LOL. I have instantly regretted dropping letters in the box, but never, ever would think of something so foul. Goes to show when people say criminals are dumb is true. Not to give anyone ideas, but he could have less obvious about showing his dispeasure.

    Oh my! I must admit this story gave me a chuckle although it really was a stupid thing for the guy to do. I feel sorry for the poor employee who opened the envelope. What a shock that must have been. Well, he gave the "poop", the news got the "scoop" and now he just might end up in the "coop". Great article!
