PORT ST. LUCIE — A woman spotted pooping in front of a pickup truck outside Wendy’s wound up in a pile of trouble.

That’s because the pickup truck where Robin Mckenzie, 58, was moving her bowels was stolen, according to a Port St. Lucie police report.

The case that ended with Mckenzie’s arrest began about 11:27 p.m. on Nov. 1 when an officer “observed a woman defecating in front of her vehicle” outside a Wendy’s.

The woman, later identified as Mckenzie, said Wendy’s was closed and she couldn’t get in to use the toilet.

As Mckenzie left, the officer checked the license plate on the pickup and determined it was stolen out of Fort Lauderdale. The officer stopped the vehicle.

Mckenzie’s mom owns the truck, and police called her. She told police a family member was working on it in her driveway and that Mckenzie hopped in and drove off.

Mckenzie told police her brother took her Mercedes-Benz to repair and lent her the truck so she could see her daughter in Louisiana.

It’s unclear whether Mckenzie’s brother lent her any toilet paper.

“She (Mckenzie) shouted that he must be trying to take her Mercedes and the truck and he must have lied that the truck was stolen,” a report states.

Mckenzie, of Fort Lauderdale, was arrested on a felony grand theft charge and logged in to jail in what could be called a stinker of a case.

She appeared to have been on a roll with respect to pooping because police reported she defecated in the back of the patrol car.
