The man who dumped a load of manure in front of the Warren County Democratic Party headquarters in Lebanon, Ohio, over the weekend has confessed to his crime and explained his reasons for leaving the huge pile in the parking lot.
"It was the worlds cheapest advertising," James Pinell, 47, told WLWT.
The Lebanon man, who is paid to deliver horse manure, said he dumped about six yards of manure at the Democratic headquarters over the weekend to get the attention of politicians.
"Were sick of politics. Were sick of Washington, and you know, its a bunch of horse crap theyre putting us through," he said. "So I just, more or less, did what I felt."
Pinell, who said he's a Republican who plans to vote for Trump, gave some specifics: "Theres every bit of reason as the pile itself. Its all of it. Its the emails. Its NAFTA. Its, you know, Obamacares going to, look what its done to the premiums in the second year," Pinell said.
Warren County Republican Chairman Jeff Monroe said he doesn't know Pinell and he doesn't represent Republicans. Monroe added that he's glad Pinell was caught and cited.
Pinell also admitted that he dumped a load of manure at the headquarters in 2012.
Police said they tracked the dump truck used to deliver the manure to Pinell's property.
"Unfortunately for him, what he chose to do is a criminal act. So we had to handle it as such, which we did. Thats why he was charged the way he was," said Lt. John Faine, with the Warren County Sheriffs Office. He was charged with criminal mischief and could face up to 60 days in jail, a $500 fine, and restitution if convicted.
Pinell told WLWT that he's been receiving nasty answering machine messages since the incident.
Bethe Goldenfield, chairwoman of the Warren County Democratic Party, told WLWT she was relieved that the culprit had been caught. "I was glad to see this come to closure because were definitely focused on moving on," she said.
Democratic Party leaders paid to have someone remove the manure Saturday morning.
Goldenfield noted that the headquarters has been receiving calls from people offering to pay Pinell's fines.
CNN:terrorism by Trump!
Better give it up Don, this'll finish you f'sure !
Spoken like a true weak kneed Republican establishment suck up.
What a crappy thing to do.

I’d like to by that Buckeye a Beer.
Did they catch the person who firebombed GOP headquarters?
Give the guy a parade and a medal.
B.O. Stinks too.
Pay the fine. Let the public decide what it means. Better than the lefties who try to destroy lumberjacks or bakeries for personal gain. A LOT better than trying to start a riot at a convention with 20,000 people.
My uncle used to farm various fields, and one of them belonged to his nephew, right by the nephew’s house. He’d farm the field, and they’d split the proceeds. One time nephew pissed him off, and he was out to fertilize the field, so he made three passes around the guy’s lawn. Next time he came out the grass and weeds were waist high.
But Clintons tour bus dumps raw human sewage into a storm drain and nothing is said or done. What a bunch of CRAP! Cannot wait for all of this to be done with a Kick @$$ Trump Landslide.
He looks kind of like some sort of illegitimate Bush.
FREE SPEECH! FREE SPEACH! His 1rst amendment rights have been violated.
Cold case file!
Yeah, nobody was fined for leaving that pile of S—T in our White House.
Who fire bombed the rnc headquarters? any news on the DNC operatives that attacked protesters and injured police officers? Be lucky
it was a pile of sh##
It’s art - so we need that site declared a landmark!
Or if that doesn’t work, someone find some nearly extinct crap-loving bugs to put in there, and call it a preserve.
He should’ve claimed it was modern Art.
Good point. And frankly, it’s one this guy should point to when pleading not guilty. Sorry your honor, but the Democrat candidate dumped her sewage on our streets.
This was the cost of that. It’s a push your honor.
