There’s a reporter for a local news station in Phoenix named Jonathan Lowe, and he was out covering a story on Monday afternoon . . . and really had to use the bathroom. We’re not sure how old he is, but he looks like he’s in his 30’s.
And it must have been a pretty urgent situation, because instead of finding one to use . . . he defecated right in someone’s front yard!!!
A neighbor who saw it from the across the street called the cops, and they arrested him for, quote, “public urination or defecation.” But a spokesman for the police department confirmed that it was not for urinating.
He’s facing a fine of up to $2,500, or six months in jail. The station wouldn’t say whether he’s been fired yet, but he’s worked there for about five years, and it looks like they already deleted his bio from their website.
Before they yanked it down, it said that he was originally from North Carolina . . . and brought a bit of, quote, “southern hospitality and charm” with him.
