In Britain, “taking the piss” is slang that can be used to reference the act of joking with someone, but as funny as it might seem, a Porter, Indiana man was completely serious when he confessed to stealing urine from a probation office.
Joseph Klinkman now faces a burglary charge stemming from last week’s break-in, which police allege occurred because the man was worried that his court-ordered urine test would show drug use.
So now, he’s got other problems, like being charged with taking two vials of urine, including his own. It’s something that doesn’t go a long way in jail.
Chief Probation Officer Neal Hannon says in his 37 years on the job, he’s never seen anything like it.
After all, he says, people don’t usually want their urine back.
