A Florida man is under arrest after authorities say he was caught defecating on the corpse of a dead possum in the street during rush hour.

Currently, Wilcox sits behind bars while authorities figure out what to do with him. 

The 45-year-old man was seen by a Clearwater police officer pooping on a dead possum with his pants down and his backside exposed, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit also revealed that his genitals “full view of the motoring public during busy traffic hours.” 

Police also claim that they recovered “physical evidence” from the scene, including the body of the dead possum and the waste itself.

Wilcox, for his part, denied the allegations upon his arrest, alleging the police officer who arrested him “couldn’t see straight.”

The crimes he is charged with are both felonies and misdemeanours. 

Wilcox will have to register as a sex offender if he is convicted of any of the crimes. 

He remains at the Pinellas County Jail.
