A Trumbull man reportedly ate his own feces and smeared them over a police cell after being arrested for DUI on Aug. 29, police said

Heber Meraz, 46, of Midland Road failed a field sobriety test after crashing his vehicle on the near Route 108 and Route 15, police said. He wouldn't comply with taking an additional test. Meraz reportedly defecated on himself during the arrest.

He was brought to headquarters for processing and was told to clean the feces off his legs and feet, police said. He began to yell and allegedly ate his own feces instead. Meraz said he was a U.S. Marine and that he would have officers fired because he knew First Selectman Tim Herbst, Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch and Bridgeport mayoral candidate Joseph Ganim.

Police said Meraz also threatened a Trumbull police sergeant's family. He also smeared his feces over a cell, police said.
