Florida Woman in Her 50s Throws Feces at Neighbor Suspected of Affair

Woman in Her 50s Arrested for Throwing Feces at Neighbor in Miami
Attacked Neighbor’s Home Over Suspected Affair with Husband

A woman in her 50s residing in Florida, United States, was arrested by the police after throwing feces at a neighbor.

According to the New York Post and other local media on September 14 (local time), the Miami-Dade County Police in Florida detained Iris Machado Rivera, a woman in her 50s, on charges of burglary and assault. Local outlets report that Rivera is currently being held without bail while under investigation.

Authorities explained that on September 7, Rivera visited the home of a neighbor she suspected of having an inappropriate relationship with her husband and threw feces contained in a bucket. At the time, Rivera’s toilet was reportedly broken, so she had been using a bucket as a temporary restroom.

Rivera told the police that, while disposing of the waste in the bucket, she decided to take revenge on the victim, stating that the victim had previously swung a baseball bat at her over issues concerning foul odors.

According to reports, Rivera brought the bucket filled with excrement to her neighbor’s door, knocked, and as soon as the victim answered, confronted her about the alleged affair. She then forced her way inside and dumped the bucket’s contents on the victim before fleeing the scene.

Presiding Judge Mindy Glazer, who handled the case at the pre-indictment hearing, described the incident as "a highly unusual case where someone, suspecting an affair with her husband, unlawfully entered a neighbor's home and threw feces."

Meanwhile, in South Korea earlier this year, there was controversy when criminal organizations carried out widespread "feces attacks" on innocent citizens across the country, acting on requests for revenge made via Telegram. These groups reportedly received 800,000 to 1,000,000 won per incident, recruiting so-called "special operatives" to carry out the attacks.

Homes targeted in these incidents suffered damages such as dozens of flyers scattered in front of their doors, feces smeared along with abusive words written in lacquer on entrance doors, among other acts of vandalism. According to reports, Hwaseong Dongtan Police Station and Gunpo Police Station urgently arrested and questioned several men in their 20s on charges including property damage, burglary, and defamation, in connection with these "revenge-for-hire" crimes.
