Charges filed in defecation complaint
wisconsin state journal ^ | 1/17/2008 | Ed Treleven

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.

Shows how much things have changed in 40 years. In Mayberry it was Ernest T. Bass, and he threw rocks.

“I mean without getting too graphic, did he save it up or do it on the spot?”

On the spot. Didn’t you know that men can also write their names in the snow like this too?

No, I didn't know, maybe it is a good thing I don't know everything. The next post from your mentions lewd and lacivious, so you must be right.

Now the urinary function can more easily done on demand imo, like for a specimen if you haven't just gone, but I had no idea some people could have a bm at will. I couldn't. Nature has to kick in.

Really, they ought to do a study on this, take a poll. That would be interesting, but probably not very accurate.

2 ways:

1. Go to Hallmark card shop.

2. Go to Blockbuster Video.

Either one will make an immediate demand.

LOL! Sometimes going into a store does work, used to be the grocery store, every darn time almost in my younger years, but can't count on it now, but NEVER Hallmark or Blockbuster. Something must be seriously wrong with me :-). Sometimes when I'm out "it" has happened and I didn't want to go to a public restroom, harder to find one now. That isn't fun trying to get home in time.

Probably best not to go on in this vein, pretty tasteless, but it did make me a little curious.

The whole thing is pretty darn sick. It might be a subclass of OCD or something since other instances have been mentioned.

Like I'm sure the court order is going to be effective here, probably the opposite, make him want to do it more. I can't imagine being on the victim end of such a thing. Yuck.

We had a “Phantom Sh*tter” on one of my ships. Left his messages in the middle of passageways, on the mess decks, in boats, all kinds of places. He never got caught.
