– 35-yr-old man claims he trespassed because he urgently needed to defecate
– admits telling Police ranks who arrested him to take ‘mess’ in bucket he was sitting on to the station as his evidence
A MAN who claimed he trespassed in order to answer an urgent call of nature was yesterday remanded to prison on a charge of attempting to commit a felony.
Particulars of the offence said Junior Luther, 35, who appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson and pleaded not guilty, attempted to break and enter the dwelling house of Lorraine Mitchell on June 21.
But the defendant (no address given) told the Court he urgently needed to defecate and did not want to do it on the road, so he looked for the lowest fence and jumped over it.
He said he knocked on the virtual complainant’s door but got no answer, so he used a bucket in the yard and the security guard apprehended him while he was sitting on it.
Luther admitted telling the Police ranks who arrested him to take the bucket to the station as his evidence.
But Police Inspector Stephen Telford, prosecuting, who successfully objected to bail for the defendant declared that it was ‘eyepass’ for the latter to request that the policemen fetch his ‘mess’.
The Prosecutor said a security alarm went off  at the woman’s house after Luther tried to cut the mesh on her door and the guard found the defendant lying in front of the door.
The case was put off to July 16.
