Man Facese $5,000 Fine For Peeing In Co-Worker’s Coffee A trifling Virgina man will now be responsible for coughing up $5,000 as a consequence to his disgusting decision to urinate in his co-worker’s coffee pot. via Gawker If you were thinking of pissing in a co-workers drink, here’s something that should give you pause: A man who admitted spiking his colleague’s coffee with urine was ordered to pay $5,001 in damages. And that fine was in addition to the year-long prison sentence he’d already received. According to the Daily Progress, on March 16, 2009, James Carroll Butler used an empty soda can to scoop urine from a toilet into his co-worker Michael Utz’s personal coffee pot at the water treatment plant in Culpepper, Va. He returned the pot to the coffee maker “hoping [his co-worker Michael] Utz was the person who would get the urine-tainted coffee.” Sure enough, Utz tried to brew coffee but stopped when “he was hit with a strong smell of urine, observing fluid already inside his coffee pot that he had not put in there.” Utz told his supervisor, who suggested testing the liquid at a lab. The results came back positive for urine and feces. Butler confessed to the crime the next day. “I done something I am very much ashamed of to a co-worker for [reasons, which are] stress-related [and] things going on in my life on and off the job. I am very much ashamed of my stupid and childlike behavior,” Butler wrote in a letter. Court documents obtained by the Daily Progress show that $5,000 will go towards punitive damages and $1 will go towards compensatory damages. While well short of the $728,000 he was seeking, Utz is “really, really happy about the victory and he’s glad it’s done,” according to his attorney. SMH!! Shutterstock
