Bristolian holidayer poos in protest after being apprehended by the police

Mark Haughton from Bristol defecated in a police-car following his arrest in Carmarthen Bay caravan park in Wales. The police arrived on the scene after they were informed about a dispute between Mark and his wife, who were holidaying in the Welsh countryside.

There are many ways to go about voicing your anger or frustration - writing a letter or email to the concerned party, or verbally communicating your grievances are methods that most would prefer to stick to.

Mark Haughton decided not to opt for the more conventional methods, however, as he 'voiced' his opinion of Dyfed-Powys Police force by excreting all over the inside of their police-car after being apprehended.

Mark left his caravan to cool-off, after a heated argument with his wife. Returning to the caravan, he was confronted by policemen, who denied his attempts to re-enter.

Slapping on the cuffs, the police apprehended Mark and began to escort him to the police car as Haughton fervently accused them of racism, before continuing to threaten to poo in the police car once he was inside.

It wasn't until Mark was secured on the back seat of the police car that he lived up to his promise, as he decided to relieve his bowels in a display of defiance against his arrest.

Prosecution solicitor, Ellie Morgan revealed that, after being apprehended: "He did seem to calm down at that point but the officers said that some way into the journey they became aware of a strong, disgusting smell.

"A photo was taken, fortunately the police have not thought it fit to provide us with it."

Arriving at Dyfed-Powys police station in the early hours of the morning, Mark was given clean clothes, a toilet, and a prison cell for the night.

Yet, Mark had no intention of using the toilet provided to him, as his pongy protest was far from over. He then proceeded to, yet again, relieve his bowels, this time over the prison cell floor.

Mark's defence solicitor, Gareth Jones, had revealed that Mark had: "Told police he had taken a herbal medication which would make him need to go to the toilet."

Mark admitted his wrongdoing regarding his display of defiant, indecent double-defecation. He said: "I admit I was angry and I was blocked up, upset, people were laughing at me.

"I was there without my pants, with my willy hanging out and I felt I was being treated inhumanely."

Mark's behaviour cost him £250 in court-fees and £300 in compensations to Dyfed-Powys Police for damage to police property.
