A jogger in Colorado Springs has been dubbed the "mad pooper" for taking a weekly dump outside a family’s home there.
Homeowner Cathy Budde’s children first caught the female jogger squatting on the property and informed her about the incident. Budde told KKTV she asked the woman, "Are you really taking a poop right here in front of my kids?" and that she answered, "'Yeah, sorry!'"
Budde posted a sign asking the woman to stop the behavior, but it hasn’t deterred the "mad Pooper" any. There reportedly are restrooms nearby the woman could use.
The woman has defecated in other parts of the neighborhood as well, according to other witness statements.
“This isn’t behavior that we see on a routine basis,” Colorado Springs Police Lt. Howard Black told The Huffington Post.
TMZ reported the "mad pooper" brings napkins along to clean up afterward.
Police are looking for the woman and say she could face charges of indecent exposure and public defecation, WNEP reported.
“It’s abnormal, it’s not something I’ve seen in my career,” Sgt. Johnathan Sharketti said, KKTV reported.
Twitter users were extremely disgusted by the story and thought she needed help, of course.
