Feds Plug Leak: Alleged Elevator Urinator Charged

(AP)  An agent used surveillance cameras to confirm a smelly suspicion: Someone had been urinating in a freight elevator at an Internal Revenue Service data center in Detroit. Authorities filed a criminal charge Tuesday against Michael Hicks. In an affidavit, treasury agent Delmaria Scott said she interviewed Hicks in January 2008 and he admitted urinating in the elevator for months.

Scott said Hicks did it "because he felt he could get away with it." It cost $4,600 to clean the elevator.

Hicks, who was a contract employee at the IRS, was charged with damaging federal property. A defense lawyer was not listed.

Gina Balaya, a spokeswoman for prosecutors, says the government was unsuccessful in trying to resolve the case without a criminal charge.

I'm sure his co-workers were a bit peeved.

I'm sure the investigators drained all their resources for this.

Dunno, but if they catch the pissant, I hope they waterboard him.





Does this count as a twofer?

Nope, still counts as a Number One.

I'm just curious if he's being charged in federal court, or tax court?

I'd say federal court. IRS is expert at getting money...feds are expert at pissing it away.
