A St. Joseph man has pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from an incident in which he’s accused of breaking into a duplex and defecating and urinating on items inside.

29-year-old Joshua Moffatt pleaded guilty Thursday in Buchanan County court to a felony of second-degree burglary.

As we reported, court documents accuse Moffatt of breaking into a duplex earlier this year. Det. Jeff Pearl said Moffatt then forced open an entryway door and entered the adjoining duplex. Pearl said Moffatt defecated on the victims bed and urinated on the carpeting. Police said Moffatt did not know either victim and has never had permission to enter either home.

Moffatt is scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 17.
