Morristown Man Caught Urinating From Tree Branch 10 Feet In The Air: Police

He was less than 20 feet from a Porta-John, police said.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Despite being just 20 feet away from a Porta-John, a Morristown man was allegedly caught urinating out of a tree ten feet in the air on the Fourth of July, Hackettstown Police said.

While patrolling Hackettstown High School parking lot around noon yesterday, officers saw a man standing on a tree limb about 10 feet in the air urinating. When the man came down, he told police he didn't use the Porta-John, located only 20 feet away, because it was occupied.

Police said they did not see anyone enter or exit the Porta-John during their patrol.
