CLIVE, Iowa - A Nebraska man has been arrested in central Iowa for allegedly delivering some unwanted Christmas gifts. Reno Tobler, 54, was arrested Thursday in Clive after police caught him lobbing urine bottles into backyards.
"We've got a Grinch that has been lobbing urine," said Clive Police Chief Robert Cox. "Since this fall, we've had eight to 10 incidents reported where people have found containers full of urine thrown into their backyards."
Tobler is a truck driver whose route regularly takes him to the Clive area. He was charged with littering and harassment for allegedly tossing detergent-sized bottles of his urine over fences.
Tobler told police that it was a longtime hobby of his to deliver the bottles. Police searched his vehicle and found several other urine-filled bottles ready for delivery.
Tobler was taken to the Polk County Jail and was released on a $500 bond.
Wheres the fun in that ? Believe I woulda stopped the truck , got out , and left my calling card in the snow - Kilroy was here ! Or made it look like Frosty had an 'accident' .
Heck , give the town folk a real reason to call the police , drive by and lob a grenade into a chicken coop . Then when you drive back thru town you can stop at a fast food joint and get a bite- parts is parts , drive thru !
