Poop Dump Explained

Last week, a Texas woman made headlines after she was arrested for leaving buckets filled with 50lbs of human feces outside her local police station. Among the striking aspects of the case was the methodical approach followed by the woman which included wearing a hazmat suit.  However, there appeared to be no explanation for the source of such a vast quantity of feces. One report has since emerged that claims to feature an interview with that woman in which she explains how the event came about.  To quote from that report:

This morning, we had Mindy Stephens on the phone, and she explained the real reason behind her decision.

"I had a renter who was renting a back apartment, and he was being evicted after living there. He'd been living without paying for rent or utilities for a year," Mindy said.

"He trashed the place, and I had to clean it all up, which is when I found the poop. He had buckets of poop. He'd been pooping in the buckets."

"I saw a 5-gallon bucket on top of a milk crate with a board over it. I flipped the board over and saw what was inside and thought, "Aw, what the hell?" she told us.

After the officers took him away and removed him from the property, she knew she had to get the buckets of human waste out of there but wasn't sure who to call.

The police said it was a civil matter.

"Civil matter? It's a biohazard," Mindy said.

The EPA told her to "Take the buckets to the proper authorities." So, she put the buckets on her trailer and drove them to the police station in her hazmat suit.
