‘Poo jogger’ who keeps leaving dirty surprises on family’s doorstep ‘unmasked as corporate executive’
Andrew Douglas Macintosh has been charged with creating a public nuisance after tenants at an apartment block in Brisbane, Australia, allegedly snapped a photograph of him in the act.
A HOTSHOT executive has allegedly been outed as the mystery "poo jogger" responsible for defecating outside an apartment block for more than a year.
Andrew Douglas Macintosh, 64, has been charged with creating a public nuisance after tenants claimed to have snapped a photograph of him in the act.
Residents of an apartment block in the Brisbane, Australia, suburb of Greenslopes had complained that someone had been going to the toilet on their path by night for the past year.
A previously unidentified man had been running past the block three times a week and allegedly ducking up a privately-owned path “like clockwork” in the early morning and pausing to poo on it.
The residents orchestrated a plan to capture the man in the act and in May they hit pay dirt.
Neighbour Steve told : "One of the neighbours set up a night camera and got a few images and so we had a time he was doing it, so then I decided to go and wait with a camera and I was there a few mornings and then last Friday I got him.
"There’s a red light which goes on before the camera’s flash goes off and he saw that and looked at me as the photograph was taken.
"Then he just said, 'Hello'.
"At that point I decided to just walk away."
The photograph shows a grey-haired man with his pants down.
Holding a piece of toilet paper, he is pictured squatting over a concrete path by a brick wall and looking in the direction of the camera.
Macintosh was due to appear in a local court on Monday, but the reports that his lawyer was negotiating to have it dealt with as an infringement notice.
Macintosh’s LinkedIn profile, which has since been taken down, reveals he is a national quality manager for the retirement village property and investment group giant, Aveo.
reports that Mr Macintosh resigned from his position with Aveo.
The company said: "Aveo Group is distressed and disappointed at the alleged incidents concerning Mr Macintosh. Aveo will continue to extend its support to Mr Macintosh for help that he may require."
