No one likes getting a parking ticket.
But not everyone protests in the manner which Joshua Steven Solberg, 22, of Austin, Minnesota allegedly did.
He allegedly put dog feces in a payment envelope for his overtime parking ticket last month. Now he has been charged with disorderly conduct for raising a stink…
On April 25, an office employee for Austin police noticed a foul odor about 2 p.m. while gathering envelopes from the box. The odor persisted when she brought them to her desk.
As she opened the envelopes, the woman noticed one leaking a brown fluid, which got onto her hands, the complaint stated.
She then put the envelope in a plastic bag and washed her hands; the fluid also contaminated her desk.
That evening, the woman traveled to St. Cloud, Minn., and awoke the next day with a headache and vomited repeatedly. She was hospitalized for about two days with an undetermined illness.
While we at TITUSA have no idea of the punishment associated with disorderly conduct in Austin, Minnesota odds are that it will be more, a whole lot more, than the fine for overtime parking. It might even include some jail time in addition to a fine.
Let’s just hope that this guy manages to pay the fine without having another bout of idiocy…
