IOWA CITY - Police arrested a man Friday for allegedly defecating in a pharmacy on Friday.
Robert Lee, 57, went into CVS pharmacy, 2425 Muscatine Ave., at 4:17 p.m. where he walked to the front area of the store, lifted up his shirt, dropped his pants and defecated on the floor and walked out, according to criminal complaints.
I think the guy was probably just speaking for a good part of CVS's customer base, as well as more than a few pharmacists who've had to call one of their sorry-ass stores for a copy. I might have been tempted to pick up his bail if he had done this at the CVS down the street from my happy pill room.
Thanks to the alert reader who tipped me to the story.

And what words could have possibly come out of the CVS's staff's mouths other than, "Awww, sh**."
Double pleated irony.
Too funny. I know Iowa City well. Crazy people:-)
Ha ha ha!
"A manager at CVS, who reported the incident, told police it would cost less than $200 to clean up the mess."
I should hope so?
Wow! This almost makes a drive-thru in the pharmacy workplace look appealing. Almost...
Man, that seems like a really crappy thing to do...
...But then again, it is CVS, so they probably deseved it
I would beg to differ from Frank CPhT on one small point.
An underpaid front-end cashier in an understaffed store with no outside janitorial services is NOT the one who deserves to clean up the crap. Although she will most likely end up with the task.
Now if, say, CEO Tom Ryan had to fly in and clean up the mess himself, that might be a different story......
Just so everyone knows, I did a rotation at this store and the staff (at least the pharmacy staff) is very friendly and would not have done anything cruel to provoke this. I don't love Caremark either, but the staff here is competent and friendly, just like the staff at most Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS locations (I don't work for any of the above).
