STOUGHTON, Wis. (WMTV/Gray News) - A police department in Wisconsin used a drone to find a person it said was repeatedly defecating in a public park.

The Stoughton Police Department reported Thursday it received dozens of complaints about feces and used toilet paper found along a park’s walking path. Officials did not specify which park.

The department said it used drones and trail cameras to identify the suspect.

The department determined a pattern using the trail cameras and noted the person would defecate in the park during early morning hours.

Officers made contact with the person, identified as a 46-year-old woman, after a drone recorded her in the act.

The Stoughton Police Department said the woman is not homeless and that it believes she does not have mental health concerns.

“When we first learned of it, we thought it was going to be isolated,” Lt. Chad O’Neil of the Stoughton Police Department said. “But then with neighbors and users of the park continuing to call us to complain about it, I realized that it wasn’t going away.”

Lt. O’Neil said the suspect claimed to have used the bathroom at a certain time and location based on a personal pattern.

Does Wisconsin have laws that will keep this person off the streets? For more than a month?

No I can’t say I’ve ever done this. I’ve always found a bathroom in time.

I’d make her pick it up and put it in a Walmart bag like city folk do when their dogs drop deuces on the sidewalk.

Lt. Jiffy John, newly appointed director of the Fecal Phantom Task Force, told reporters that he and his officers were dedicated to this case. Their motto was “We will not be deterd” in our goal of solving this odiferous crime.

Red Deer, Alberta!?

That’s where my grandma was born in 1906. Her uncle was “Mr. Red Deer,” too.

Maybe the people from Cologuard can give their assistance. They are professional turd burglars.
