In Las Cruces, N.M., a man returned to his car after leaving work on March 11th to find a teenager in the back seat, pulling up his pants. (No! He was alone!) If that sounds strange, it gets even weirder.

Austin Horries Purifoy, 18, had allegedly just finished doing his business in the back seat of the Honda Civic. As in "Number Two". The car's owner asked him what he was doing in his car.

"This is your car?" Purifoy asked the owner. "I thought this was Desiree's car."

Yes, Purifoy allegedly defecated in a stranger's car, believing it belonged to his girlfriend, and got caught with his pants down.

Purifoy had allegedly shattered the car's front window with a rock, rummaged through the glove compartment, and stole some spare change. Police also matched footprints from a broken glass door of a nearby business to Purifoy's shoes, which have a distinctive pattern on the bottom.

Purifoy ran from the car's owner, but police quickly found him hiding in a nearby ditch. When asked what he was doing, he responded that he was hiding because he didn't want his girlfriend to see him smoking. Taking a dump in the back seat of her car is OK, but smoking? Not so much, apparently.

Purifoy was dumped on the Dona Ana County Detention Center on two counts of criminal property damage.

Two counts? Maybe there was some "Number One" after all.

If I were this fool's girlfriend, I would make sure I was his EX-girlfriend ASAP.

I can truly say I have now read it all! And... Eeeewwwww! How utterly classless a good portion of the population has become! No manners, no boundaries, no respect for OTHERS personal property, very little accountability. Yeah, he's in jail, but I bet he gets out with time served and a slap on the wrist.

Another very good reason to lock your car doors when you walk away, 'cause even though Purifoy shattered the windshield, it doesn't say he "broke" into the vehicle. {{shudders}}

Wow...once again, it's that 'quality human being' thing. If you're with someone that makes you crazy enough to do this kind of thing, you need to leave them. If you are with someone who is crazy enough to do this sort of thing, you need to leave them. Get out, raise your standards, and get on with your life.
