ORLANDO, Fla. -- An Orange County sheriff\'s deputy was fired after surveillance video showed him urinating in a public elevator, according to Local 6 News.
Recent complaints of a foul odor inside the R & R Limited public parking garage in Orange County prompted the building\'s manager to set up a video camera inside an elevator.
When the manager and police checked the videotapes, Orange County Sheriff\'s Deputy Carl Brown was shown urinating in the corner of the elevator, Local 6 News reported.
"It\'s certainly nothing you would expect from anybody, much less a deputy sheriff," Orange County Sheriff\'s Office spokesman Jim Solomons said.
The manager said Brown, who works at the nearby county courthouse, was constantly relieving himself inside the elevator, Local 6 News reported.
Since the videotape was given to authorities, Brown has reportedly admitted to urinating in the elevator and in some nearby bushes.
"It smelled bad," resident John Minka said. "To urinate in a public elevator, that\'s just wrong."
The urine caused about $200 worth of damage to the elevator, according to Local 6 News.
A sheriff\'s office investigation determined that Brown violated two agency standards. He was given a 40-hour suspension for one offense and fired for the other, according to the report.
Although Brown was fired, he is still being paid while he continues to appeal his termination.
I guess he was marking his territory. He sort of looks like a pissed off dog in the screen caps.
