BURLINGTON, Iowa -- A psychiatrist who police say smeared excrement on dollar bills used to pay a parking ticket has been charged with harassment of a public official.
Officers received an envelope in July labeled "Foreign brown substance on bills." The envelope contained several dollar bills and a parking ticket made out to a vehicle registered to McPike, police said.
Tests indicated the brown substance was fecal matter and indicated that the stain patterns resulted from the matter being smeared on the bills.
"All personnel that dealt with the bills were offended by what the defendant did," an affidavit said.
McPike told police the money fell into a toilet and was retrieved to pay the parking ticket, police said.
If convicted, McPike could face up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.

OMG!! Please say NO! Won't they have to be kept for evidence? Won't they destroy them? Wouldn't it be illegal/immoral/unethical for them to re-release these bills?
In all seriousness, is there ANY way these bills could go back into circulation? And how sick will it be if people decide to do copy cat crimes? EWWWWW. I'm grossed out now.

Most people in that industry suffer from their own troubles and live a life of denial until an event such as this.
