Disgusting woman dubbed the ‘parking lot pooper’ busted POOING in public eight times

The Ashland local was arraigned later that day on eight counts of wanton destruction of property.

Police say they started investigating the woman's alleged dirty habit in December after the store owner claimed he routinely found faeces in the parking lot.

Police spokeswoman Lt. Cara Rossi said: “At first, [workers] thought it was an animal but then they noticed toilet paper and other wipes — items animals would not have access to.”

The defecations were also caught on surveillance footage, according to police, but they say Grocer's license plate was always shielded from camera.

Police increased patrols in an effort to bust the serial pooper red-handed, and officers say they caught Grocer Wednesday around 7 AM.

According to the report, Grocer claimed she suffers from irritable bowel syndrome - a chronic intestinal disorder - and was on her way to a home where she works as a nanny.

The officer pointed out to Grocer that the area is dotted with public restrooms, to which the woman reportedly apologized and promised to never use the parking lot as a bathroom again.

Grocer's employer later confirmed to the police that the nanny has access to the bathroom at the house.

Police linked Grocer to all eight instances, to the relief of store owner Henry Kanner.

Kanner said: “I’m so happy they arrested her. I have no idea who she is. This has been ongoing. She has defecated quite often over here. There’s nothing more disgusting coming into your parking lot in the morning and seeing a pile of human excrement.”

Kanner said the inconsiderate move truly stinks: “I can’t figure out why anyone would do that.”

At Grocer’s arraignment Wednesday, her lawyer called her a “pillar of the community” who works full time, but offered no explanation for her alleged conduct.

Grocer was charged with wanton destruction of property, and released without bail.

She is due back in court March 2.
