People in Portland, Oregon, are raising a stink over a man who keeps defecating in public.
The suspect, who residents have nicknamed "the Portland Pooper," has been seen defecating all over the southwest part of the city in the last few weeks.
Locals think his crap attacks are not spontaneous.
“I find it interesting that he has toilet paper with him, it’s very pre-planned,” Catrina Salazar told KOIN. “You just don’t really know what to expect around here. People, they like do their own thing, they kind of march to the beat of their own drum.”
One business owner set up a surveillance camera to capture the serial pooper in the act. He then printed flyers so that fellow citizens would have the straight poop on him.
Part of the problem is where the public pooper chooses to leave his dookie deposits.
“It’s pretty weird because we’ve got a couple of schools and a park here,” Shawn Peralta told KOIN."There are a lot of families around here and this is not the kind of thing you want to see."
Portland police are asking anyone with information on the "Portland Pooper" to call 503-823-3333.
If apprehended, the suspect could be face charges of public indecency and “offensive littering," a legal term that Willamette Week pointed out "understates the grossness of this crime to an astonishing degree."
Portland is no stranger to strange and disgusting forms of public behavior.
In June, a homeless man was seen masturbating in the open door of a portable toilet.
A group of people got revenge by tipping over the can while he was inside.
