Police in Colorado Springs are on the still-warm trail of "the Mad Pooper," a jogger one family said has repeatedly defecated in their yard despite readily available public restrooms nearby.

Cathy Budde, who coined the scatalogical supervillain's nickname, said her children caught the woman in the pantsless process of fertilizing their yard.

"So I come outside and I'm like, 'Are you serious? Are you really taking a poop right here in front of my kids?'" Budde told news station KKTV. 

The jogger responded: "Yeah, sorry!"

Budde said she thought the woman would be ashamed and never return -- or, if she did return, at least not squat and drop when she did -- but fresh deposits have appeared on her lawn at least seven subsequent times.

"Two other times we've caught her," Budde said. "She changed up her time a little bit because she knew I was watching. I put a sign on the wall that's like, 'Please, I'm begging you, please stop.'"

Neither Budde nor Colorado Springs police know the woman's identity, but police said she could be charged with public defecation -- a charge few of them have ever had to use before as residents of a sane, orderly society.
