Bodily functions are important, right? I mean not peeing or pooping for days on end can actually cause some serious damage to our systems, not to mention the stink that would make the lives of people who live near us miserable. However, a bizarre news has caught our attention and fair warning, it’s gross.
A suspected drug dealer Lamarr Chambers, 24 is on a record-breaking toilet strike and has now gone 34 days without going to the toilet to poop. He is nearing his sixth week in custody after Essex Police arrested and detained him on January 17.
The police believe that he swallowed some of the drugs before his arrest in Harlow, Essex, and they have been patiently waiting for him to use the toilet ever since so they can test it, obviously.
The matter came to light when Chambers was presented in court yesterday as reported by Metro. Prosecutor Kathy Wilson said that no ‘faecal matter’ was collected, and so his case will continue. She added,
“He did wipe his bottom and there was a stain on the toilet paper. Had any amount of faecal matter been passed, we would not be in this position today. Mr Chambers has not properly been to the toilet for some 33 days.’”
The Essex Police is in the second month of waiting for him to use the toilet and had no choice but to request more time to detain him in court. The magistrates have granted the police another five days to keep him in custody.
His toilet strike made history on day 24 when he broke the British record for spending the most days in police custody. The accused is taken to the hospital whenever he requests it. The police even took him to special facilities Stansted Airport to encourage him to do the deed.
They went to the toilet with him and stood with their backs turned to him but nothing happened. The situation got so bad that the Essex Police started #PooWatch to keep us all updated.
It’s weirdly gross but funny at the same time! I really feel for the poor policeman just trying to do their job. They would never have thought that they would come across such a headstrong criminal. A crappy situation to be in, wouldn’t you say? (Sorry, I had to.)
