AUSTIN, Minn., June 22 An Austin, Minn., man was fined $2,921 and ordered to apologize to a city worker for filling a parking citation envelope with dog poop.

For the misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, Joshua Steven Solberg was also given a 90-day jail sentence that was stayed for a year, the Austin Daily Herald reported Friday.

Solberg must also write a letter of apology to a Mower County court employee who noticed a foul odor and brown liquid oozing from a payment envelope she was processing April 25.

The woman was hospitalized for two days with an unknown illness after the incident.

The court traced the citation back to Solberg, who admitted putting dog feces in the envelope because he was angry about a ticket he received outside his home.
