Residents in North Park Hill are shocked and disgusted after a man was seen pooping in their neighborhood.
A neighbor caught the act on surveillance video and then contacted the police, according to FOX31.
According to one neighbor, this man has pooped in the same location twice over the past few weeks.
The neighbor said the man appears to be exercising and will pull his pants down to use the alleyway as a toilet in broad daylight.
"They’re coming prepared with toilet paper, but not a bag, and not coming back to clean up,” the neighbor, who shared surveillance photos on Facebook, told FOX31.
According to FOX31, this isn't the first time a public pooper has caused outrage in Colorado.
Back in 2017, a woman dubbed "the mad Pooper" was accused of repeatedly pooping in public.
The Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) confirmed the feces complaint matched the address where the man was captured on video.
“Ordinarily, we would investigate, but because of continuing restrictions on our bandwidth from COVID, we must prioritize complaints starting with encampments, then rodents, then alleyways, then individual feces complaints," a DDPHE spokesperson said in an email to FOX31. "With the majority of feces complaints, we provide clean-up guidance to property owners on how to safely remove feces.”
