Jackie VanTyle, 69 allegedly threw body waste that she had stockpiled in a mop bucket at the property next to her's in Lynn, 80 miles east of Indianapolis, according to The Muncie Star Press.

Neighbor Joseph Basler called Lynn Police on Oct. 14 after suspecting that VanTyle, to whom he said he hadn't spoken for more than nine years, was behind the bizarre attacks.

Police officer Travis Jones wrote in his report that there was "a very strong odor of urine" coming from the home as he approached and that it was "obvious something was thrown."

Police questioned VanTyle on Oct. 18 and initially she denied vandalism, the report states. But she later confessed to collecting her own urine in a bucket over a period of several months and throwing it on the neighboring home whenever the occupants were out.

"I don't like him. He's a bad neighbor," she reportedly told officers when asked to explain her actions.

Town Marshal Brad Fisher told RTV6 that the urine had corroded the siding on Basler's home and it needed to be replaced at a cost of up to $3,000 (900 hundred thousand Naira).

VanTyle was charged last Friday with two Class A misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief and faces up to a year in jail if convicted, according to the Associated Press.

She is due to appear in Randolph Superior Court on Jan. 12. HUff Post reported.
