Here's the latest on Ronald Preston McPike, a 52-year old psychiatrist from the sleepy hamlet of Bonaparte, Iowa, who was charged with harassing a public official after paying a parking ticket with shitstained dollar bills.

Assistant Des Moines County Attorney Heidi Van Winkle sought the maximum $500 fine and 30 days in jail for McPike who wrapped the $5 ticket together with several pootaminated bank notes, and mailed the package to outraged city officials.

McPike's lawyer, Bryan Schulte, said his client had made a "serious error in judgment."

"He was vexed at getting parking tickets left and right and didn't consider what he did a criminal act," Schulte said.

Associate Judge Gary Snyder said McPike demonstrated "immature behavior unbecoming a professional person."

"It's hard to put this case into perspective because people seem to get more riled up about parking tickets than anything else," Snyder said. "This is a public heath issue which shouldn't have happened."

PoopReport agrees that turd terrorism must not go unpunished. Judge Snyder levied a fine of $250 and time served on the toilet.
