An Underwood man pleaded guilty to unlawful acts Monday in Council Bluffs following his arrest the previous week for defecating in Bayliss Park twice. The second time occurred in front of police.

It was not his first arrest for similar behavior, as court records indicate arrests or citations for two other incidents of defecating in public, three of urinating in public and seven of disorderly conduct or trespassing.

According to Council Bluffs Police, officers responded to Bayliss Park Sept. 5 at 2 p.m. on a report that a man had defecated in the park.

When police arrived, they found Bud Mass, 56, laying on a park table, and “it appeared that the subject had defecated in his pants,” police said.

Investigators spoke with Mass, who told them he was indeed the male subject who had defecated in the park.

Investigators instructed Mass to clean up the mess and leave the park, which he did.

But as officers were still at the scene, they saw Mass return to the park and squat near a tree to relieve himself again, they said.
