— A man was ticketed for unlawful dumping after admitting to putting dog feces in his neighbor's truck for political reasons. Police Sgt. Jerry Edblad said a 19-year-old St. Cloud man told police he has found small baggies of dog feces in the back of his pickup truck for the past few weeks.

Donald Esmay told KNSI-AM the feces started appearing in his truck right after he put a 2-foot-by-4-foot McCain sign there.

He and his family watched the truck trying to catch the culprit, but didn't have any luck until Wednesday when his mother and brother saw someone from the neighborhood.

They confronted the 45-year-old man, who admitted to it and said it was childish.

When police later spoke with the neighbor, Edblad said he told officers he did it because he "hates McCain."

The unlawful dumping ticket comes with a $183 fine.

  1. Obama and Biden are the only presidential candidates whose character have never been questioned for illegal or unethical conduct.
  2. McCain was one of the Keating-5. He was accused of corruption by the Senate Ethics Committee in Congress. He confessed to blocking bank regulators from checking on  Charles H. Keating, Jr., which allowed him to cheat depositors out of  $3 billion dollars, which the tax payers covered. Charles Keating got a 4 year sentence. McCain got a reprimand after he confessed to accepting over $100,000 dollars in bribes.
  3. McCain was also involved in the Iran-Contra scandal, which against international law, traded hostages for missiles, which were later used to kill 300 young Americn soldiers with our own weapons.
  4. Governor Sarah Palin was found guilty of abuse of power in her elected office in Alaska. Palin and her husband, Todd, and friends also, ignored Constitutional subpoenas.
  5. Governor Palin and her husband, Todd, are also members and supporters of the AIP, the Alaska Independence Party, founded by Joe Vogler. Vogler’s and the Palins’ party believes in separating from the USA. This party is anti-Semitic and accepts funding from the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is supported by Russia.
  6. Governor Palin, a religious fanatic, believes Alaska will host the Rapture, when Armageddon destroys civilization. Should she become President, she will have all nuclear weapons codes.
  7. Russia can conveniently launch missiles over Alaska.

    Nice long rant has zero to do with the article.   The article was about a democrat so petty as to put dog%$#@ in someones vehicle because they supported McCain.  The fine should have been substantially higher.   Oh yes obumers  been accused of a lot. He has a crony from fanny mae who made over 200 mil before bailing to be his finance advisor.  He hangs with an admitted terrorist (Verified Fact) who bombed american government buildings. his own minister is a racist who hates white people and even now his pride and joy acorn is under investigation for fraud. need we say more?

    Should the man receive the death penalty?

    It was a petty crime.

    OregonDave:  You must have voted for Bush.  Thanks, by the way.

    I totally agree - this guy should face $183 for each poop bag!  What if we all went around doing this stupid type of stuff - a fine of only $183 is hardly going to stop somebody - it should be much more.  Just think if this happened to you I'm sure you would not be happy with that little of a fine.

    You must have voted for Bush.  Thanks, by the way.

    I think a lot of people voted for Bush, he did win the election right?

    Yeah, no.  Petty crime.  Yes, I'd be upset that he did it, but then again I have no inclination in voting for McCain/Palin (Dumb & Dumber).  A small fine and community service would be just dandy. 

    Yes, too many voted for him...thanks to all of you out there...well done!  (Sarcasm alert!)

    My neighbor threw his dog poop on my doorstep.

    He's a McCainiac...

    We have sign for a Democrat, running for the local school board, on our lawn.

        WOW - This guy is an idiot, he should face a fine for each poo bag he left in the truck. $183 is hardly a fine!

        Wonder what he will do if McCain wins this election in 3 weeks?

          What a classy guy. I wish I could have seen his face when he realized he had been caught.

          Not that I in any way condone his actions, but as a dog-owner, I do have to commend him for cleaning up after his dog. Too bad he couldn't take the poop all the way to the trash can though.

          People get so childish during election season. It's like they are werewolves, and it's a full moon.

                That's not my style.  I don't act foolish and immature.   

                That sounds threatening.
