'Obviously dehydrated' person tosses jug of urine onto U.S. 31 in Westfield

A message for whoever did this: Urine trouble.

According to Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine, a person who likely recently relieved themselves threw a gallon jug of urine onto U.S. 31 in Westfield. Perrine spotted the half-full jug, and it frustrated him enough to send out the following tweet:

In the name of journalistic diligence, we asked Perrine how he was sure it was urine.

"I didn't stop and inspect it, but it's very obvious what it is," he said. "It was (yellow), a very dark color."

Perrine said it would be nearly impossible to find the peepetrator. The punishment for littering varies by county, he said, but that police officers have little tolerance for litterers.

"There's no excuse for it," he said. "If you're caught littering, you're probably going to get a ticket, and it's a pretty hefty fine."

He added that finding bottles full of urine along highways isn't an uncommon occurrence.
