Man Threw Bottles Of Urine Into St. Pete Business, Splashing Worker

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A man was arrested for throwing bottles of urine into a St. Petersburg business because he was angry about being denied a job interview, according to multiple reports.

John Connaughton, 51, a registered sex offender in Florida, was charged with battery, criminal mischief and aggravated assault.

Angry that he was turned down for a job interview, Connaughton went into the front of the store and intentionally splattered his urine from multiple bottles inside Doors, Moulding & More on 22nd Avenue North on Friday around 11 a.m., WTSP said.

Some of the urine splashed an employee’s bare legs and merchandise worth about $1,000, WFLA reported.

Connaughton was chased out of the business by the employee and as he ran away, he raised a skateboard as though he were going to hit the victim with it, according to NBC Miami.
