OT: Police Nab "Mystery Pooper" in Ypsilanti

Submitted by UM456670 on

I post this with some trepidation, but some of the text in the body of the article is so humourous that I thought the Board may get a few laughs.

Further, it is the most read article on mlive today.  Of particular note, the object of the attention became somewhat of a local celebrity after the original article went viral.  Local band Black Jake and The Carnies wrote a song about the mystery pooper, a fake mystery pooper account popped up on Twitter and a billboard requesting residents "Do your civic doody” and "Help us catch the 'poopetrator'” appeared on Interstate 94.

Unfortunately, the police did not identify this new local celebrity, who apparently resides in a local halfway house.  Thankfully, he was apprehended before warm weather would allow kids to play in the area.

Generate some classic lines.

Thanks for making the subject even more humorous.

I cannot believe that the police did not identify this miscreant, though I guess if he is in a half-way house, they didn't desire to put him in deeper shit.

Officer: "Stay where you are and put the loaf down!"

Pooper: "Whatever you say, sir."

Officer: "No! Wait! DON'T put the loaf down! DON'T put the loaf down!"

but I pooped on the Great Wall of China.  It wasn't meant as a "Free Tibet" protest or anything, I was just out there (in the Mutianyu area of the wall for those who know it) and was overwhelmed by a need to take a dump. I was really hurting.  I walked forever looking for a public toilet, but there were no options.  I was completely by myself because thunderstorms were passing through and other tourists had fled.  

So, yes, I dropped trou and pinched off a deuce on one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

I regret nothing.

Intentional? I don't think so, but kind of hope it is.

Council Member Brian Robb said he hopes "we can just put this behind us."
