Seems the elevator at the Detroit IRS building was getting stinkier by the day. The smell of urine must have been overpowering to prompt the installation of surveillance cameras, which caught one Michael Hicks, 55, of Detroit pissing in the freight elevator car, which he subsequently admitted to having done many times. According to Delmaria Scott, a special agent for the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, “He stated that he did it because he felt he could get away with it.”
Now, Hicks is charged with a felony count of malicious mischief, damaging governmental property by a sum exceeding $1,000. The crime is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Hicks’ urination caused the IRS to incur a deep cleaning expense of $4,626. Nice.
