In the sedate English market town of Market Rasen, forty-three year old Shirley Kirkman decided to make her feelings about the police known and she did so in a very impressive manner!

She pulled her knickers down and defecated in the back of the police van that had been sent to cart her to Lincoln police station following her assault on a police officer. Police officer Steven Lingard said: "We switched on the extractor fan and she was picking up her feces and putting it in the vents. This continued all the way to custody. At one point she stood up and urinated on the floor as well."

Kirkman, who didn't show for her court appearance was convicted, in her absence, with assaulting a police officer and causing criminal damage.

Her punishment for causing such a stink is likely to be a fine of around $600.
