A ZIMBABWEAN man who caused a stink in an English town by repeatedly peeing and pooping in public, often after heavy drinking, has been banned from using any public place in England and Wales other than a toilet.

Kimpton Japajapa, 41, was sentenced to three months in prison for charges of failing to surrender, theft, indecent exposure and being drunk and disorderly, NewZim.com reported.

He was issued with a five-year Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour Order (CRASBO) at the Northampton Magistrates Court and warned that he faces a lengthy spell in jail if he breaks the order.

Japajapa is banned from "urinating or defecating in any public place in England and Wales, other than in a urinal or toilet," and "being under the influence of alcohol whilst behaving in a manner which causes or is likely cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household."

Japajapa, who lived in a shelter run by the charity, CAN, was charged on November 9 this month after the Northampton Borough Council filed a police complaint.

He was evicted from the shelter and moved to the council-run Resettlement Centre in the city, before again being thrown out for his behaviour "which included urinating and defecating both in the properties and outside."
