"On Monday, August 21, 2023, officers from the Santa Monica Police Department's Homeless Liaison Program (HLP) responded to an incident involving a woman engaged in public defecation at Santa Monica Beach. The woman was apprehended for violating municipal code 5.08.110, which explicitly prohibits the depositing of offensive substances in public areas, including defecation.

The incident occurred in close proximity to a public restroom that was readily available for use, raising questions about the woman's motives for choosing to defecate on the ground. According to the code, individuals are prohibited from unloading, discharging, or placing human or animal excrement, manure, or any other offensive substances on public streets, sidewalks, or public places. Violations of this code can result in legal consequences, including citations and fines."

"In the early hours of Monday, August 21, 2023, Sherry Neal, a devoted custodian supervisor with a remarkable 15-year tenure at the iconic Santa Monica Pier, took charge of an arduous task as she worked diligently to rectify the aftermath of an unfortunate incident.
