Shannon Stapleton/ReutersIs it a crime to poop in a Pringles can and then hurl that can into the parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center? Maybe not, but it’s certainly an act worthy of punishment, according to the Ohio Supreme Court, which suspended the poop-slinging attorney at the heart of the bizarre incident on Tuesday. Jack Blakeslee, whose previously unblemished record now has a decidedly large, brown stain on it, was suspended from practicing law for a period of one year, with six m

      It was his.

      The Ohio Supreme Court suspended an attorney who defecated into a Pringles potato chip can and then tossed it into a parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center.

        Not that he isn’t a dickhole, but…that’ll…show them…? How did anyone else even notice this enough to care? Someone so poorly underpaying the cleaner guy that he opened a discarded parking lot pringles can in search of food?

          He drove past the … victim advocacy center … and was captured on surveillance cameras throwing the can into the center’s parking lot. One of the center’s employees … saw Blakeslee throw the can from his car and recovered it in the parking lot… [and] called police to report the incident and the attorney was eventually charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and littering.

          If you pick up what is supposed to be an empty can and it weighs like a pound and a half… you’re gonna be curious and look inside at least once.

            I am so absolutely not doing that, no. Maybe it’s a whole pound of free cocaine. Maybe god finally smiled on me and it’s a very ill-planned potato chip bomb like that experiment where you use a whole potato to power a light bulb. Probably it’s some kid’s lost gravel collection.

            Whatever it is, it’s not going to be something whoever had the can last was dying for anyone to have and I don’t get paid enough to care.

          My guess is that it exploded and caused a mess. There’s no way that held together. Pringles cans are literally made out of paper thin cardboard with a little bit of glue holding it all together.

      Well, poop analysis showed there were wolf hair and pieces of credit card in it. So, still inconclusive.

    Blakeslee tried to explain away his behavior, saying he hadn’t targeted Haven of Hope. Rather, he claimed, he was indulging a frequent habit of his, having done the deed at least 10 other times that year.

    That somehow sounds even worse to me.

      Not just one. The article says he did it at least 10 times previously in that year because throwing pringle poop is a habit he likes to indulge in.

      He said this to a judge, to make the point that this was not a directed attack against the people who owned the property, as a legal defense. He just likes to throw pringles cans full of shit into parking lots. this was never about “them”, he just likes to throw poop canisters. What’s the big fucking deal, your honor? i’m just indulging in what makes me happy.

    Did he manage to poop in the can, or was it a two step process? As in he pooped somewhere else and then shoveled the poop into the can?
