LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE/Gray News) – Police in Kentucky are looking for a man who has defecated on the same porch multiple times over the past week for no apparent reason.
Louisville Metro Police say they have received three police reports about the alleged “porch pooper,” who’s since gained lots of attention online after doorbell videos of him have been posted on Reddit and Instagram.
The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, being targeted by the so-called porch pooper said he first noticed something was up on Tuesday.
“I went out to my front porch that morning and noticed what I thought was cat poop,” he said.
The homeowner said he cleaned it up and checked his Nest doorbell camera from the night before and that’s when he realized it certainly wasn’t a cat.
“Not only did he defecate, but he also urinated on our welcome mat,” he said.
The homeowner says he has no idea who the man is or why his porch specifically is being targeted.
“I have no idea. We’re good neighbors. We keep to ourselves, we behave ourselves. I can’t imagine anyone would want to do this kind of retribution,” he said
The homeowner said the alleged porch pooper has visited his home numerous times, and he tried to confront him on one of his latest visits but by the time he made it to the front door, the man had already run off.
“I’m relieved that he’s not violent or he’s not trying to force entry,” the homeowner said. “He’s just doing his deed, but it’s very disconcerting and disturbing.”
Louisville Metro Police urged anyone with further information to contact them at 502-574-7111.
