It was a pretty foul thing that was happening at an apartment building on Schroeder Road.

Every so often, apartment residents at 6769 Schroeder Road would find human feces in their laundry if they left it untended in a basement laundry room. Two people also reported finding feces in their shoes and boots in an apartment hallway.

And residents said they have had to throw out a comforter, baby clothes and other items after feces were found in the washing machines.

But that ended Jan. 13, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday, when Madison police arrested Ronnie A. Ballard, 19, after one woman whose laundry had been soiled chased Ballard back to his apartment in an adjoining building at 6765 Schroeder Road.

Ballard was charged with three counts each of disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property and one count of bail jumping, all misdemeanors. He appeared in court Thursday, where Dane County Court Commissioner Todd Meurer, saying words he never thought he'd say, ordered Ballard to only defecate in toilets.

Ballard remains in the Dane County Jail on $1,400 bail.

According to the complaint:

A woman told Madison police Officer Deon Johnson she had problems with someone defecating on clothing she left in the laundry room. On Jan. 13, when she went to check her laundry, she saw Ballard and chased him to his apartment.

Johnson looked in the washer and saw feces and a full load of clothes in the machine.

Johnson went to Ballard's apartment and asked if he had been in the laundry room, but he said he had not. The woman who chased Ballard identified him as the man she chased.

Court records show Ballard faces charges of lewd and lascivious behavior in Waukesha and Lincoln counties.

Johnson looked in the washer and saw feces and a full load of clothes in the machine.

Better still, a full load and some clothes.

He should be made to empty all the outside Johns in the area as part of his punishment.

His therapist would say “he has issues”. I say he is crazy!

This so odd. I remember a fellow who lived in my college dorm, and who came from a very wealthy and privileged family, and who otherwise had impeccable manners, who would do exactly the same thing ... everywhere, in people’s laundry, in unattended cars, in front of the dean’s apartment, in the college president’s mailbox. Of course at the time, being in our teens, we thought this was hilarious, until it got out of hand. Now, looking back, I have to think that there really was something deeply and psychologically wrong with the guy — yeah, sure, what was my first clue.

The lowest of the low...that’s who.

Disgusting topic, but can people do this at will? I mean without getting too graphic, did he save it up or do it on the spot?

A girl once told me she did it on somebody's car. She could have been making it up, but my system doesn't work that way.
