A BUILDING defecator who smeared his excrement over the wall of a meeting hall in Bromley Common has been fined £50.
James Rintoul was caught on CCTV defecating and then spreading his faeces on the building in Bloomfield Road at the junction with Chatterton Road.
The 29-year-old was identified from the footage by police officers and they arrested him at his home in Heron Court, less than five minutes walk from the crime scene.
He was charged with criminal damage in relation to the offence which happened at around 6.30pm on May 1 and pleaded guilty at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on August 4.
As well as the fine, Rintoul was ordered to pay £10 compensation, £15 costs and £46 to the Criminal Prosecution Service.
