Emergency in Wash Box: Diversion for Carinthian
Because he relieved himself in at least 30 instances in the foam brush container of a car wash, a 40-year-old Carinthian had to answer to the Regional Court in Klagenfurt on Thursday. The criminal proceeding for serious property damage ended for the defendant with a diversion. The man must compensate for the damage of around 13,000 euros and pay a fine of 2,490 euros.
The self-employed newspaper deliverer took responsibility for what happened and did not want to sugarcoat anything. His behavior was not acceptable, but he had no malicious intent. As a newspaper deliverer, he met with his colleagues at the start of his shift near the car wash in Sankt Veit an der Glan. There are no toilets there, and he couldn't think of anything better.
"Stress and Diarrhea"
When Judge Dietmar Wassertheurer remarked that while it is known from small children that they need to go to the toilet urgently and immediately, an adult can generally control it, the 40-year-old had no response. He did not have any illness that could explain it, the man said.
When the judge pointed out that the container in which the relief was done was equipped with its own antifreeze system and thus the entire piping system, including swivel joints and valves, was damaged, the 40-year-old justified himself: "I thought it flows through a pipe and then goes into the drain." The defendant could not say exactly how often he relieved himself in the foam brush container. It happened in any case from last December to mid-June. The judge wanted to know why it happened so often. "I had stress and diarrhea during that period," was the explanation.
