IOWA CITY - Police arrested a man Friday for allegedly defecating in a pharmacy on Friday.

Robert Lee, 57, went into CVS pharmacy, 2425 Muscatine Ave., at 4:17 p.m. where he walked to the front area of the store, lifted up his shirt, dropped his pants and defecated on the floor and walked out, according to criminal complaints.

Police said when they talked with Lee, he smelled of alcohol, had unsteady balance and his speech was slurred. He also had a blood-alcohol content of .244.

A manager at CVS, who reported the incident, told police it would cost less than $200 to clean up the mess.

Lee is charged with fifth-degree criminal mischief and public intoxication.
