Student Charged With Clogging Toilet

PORT OF SWEET GRASS, Mont. - Jesse Huffman insists he didn't do it on purpose, but the toilet he left plugged after "nature called" at this border crossing in north-central Montana has him facing criminal charges.
Toole County authorities charged the 19-year-old college student from Great Falls with criminal mischief after a border agent accused him of intentionally clogging the toilet.
Huffman said the clogged piping was completely unintentional, the result of an urgent, but natural bodily function.
"I've never been arrested before or anything like that, and I get arrested for taking a dump," said Huffman, a student at Montana State University in Bozeman.
Huffman was returning to Montana from a trip to Lethbridge, Alberta with four friends Saturday. Port authorities stopped their car for what was apparently a random search. The car's 19-year-old driver was cited for illegally possessing alcohol.
Huffman said he asked to use the bathroom while waiting for the driver.
A short time later, a port inspector discovered the toilet was clogged and threatened charges, Huffman said.
Cory Grayson, one of Huffman's friends, said he couldn't believe it when border agents first threatened charges.
"I didn't think they were serious at first, I was just laughing so hard," he said.
Port Director Larry Overcast said he could not comment on the case.
Huffman said he has hired an attorney and intends to fight the charge.

Hate to think what charges he would have faced had he left the toilet seat up.

Are stink bombs a violation of the Patriot Act?
On a side note, I went to undergrad at MSU in Bozeman.

Does anyone have their address? I say we each send them a plunger!
To: shotokan
No piffy comments needed. This place needs a plunger.
Happened to my wife at her new job. I guess I shouldn't have gotten her lunch that day.

I bet it was one of those eco-sissy 1.6 gpf sit-when-you-pee metrosexual toilets, not a manly 3.5 gpf.

Sure hope she never knows that you shared this. Telling a forum that your wife plugged a toilet while taking a dump is usually a no-no. S**t could really hit the fan on this one!!! LOL

I don't know why this tickled me, but I'm giggling like a schoolgirl.

That man has malicious intent if ever I saw it - I'd go so far as to characterize him as preparing to act with malice aforethought - but I could never stipulate to his being an attractive nuisance.
