A Wisconsin man was sentenced to 150 days behind bars on Monday for intentionally clogging the toilets in the women’s bathroom at his workplace
Patrick D. Beeman was handed the jail sentence plus three years of probation for repeatedly using a water bottle to create a blockage in the women’s bathroom at the community center where he worked, according to the Sheboygan Press.
Beeman told police “he could not explain this behavior, but simply that he would get very strong urges to do this.”
The man apologized for his behavior in a statement he read during the sentencing hearing.
“I need to make things right and pray forgiveness every day,” he said.
The toilet caper was uncovered when officers discovered an overflowed toilet at the Deland Community Center last March.
Cops then discovered that similar incidents had taken place at least 10 times at the location since April of 2017.
When cops interviewed the manager at Beeman’s temp company, he told them that he received complaints about similar incidents at another location where the toilet clogger had been employed.
Beeman told cops he stopped once he realized there was a criminal investigation.
Judge Kent Hoffmann sentenced him to 30 days for each of the five counts of criminal damage to property, citing the need for a more severe punishment, according to the Sheboygan Press.
n addition to the sentence, the man must pay $5,500 in restitution for the damage he caused from the toilets overflowing.
