Iowa Pyschiatrist fined for Dirty Money.

An Iowa psychiatrist has to pay a $250 fine -- after he was accused of smearing feces on bills used to pay a $5 parking ticket.

Psychiatrist Dr. Ronald Preston McPike was charged with harassment of a public official. He pleaded not guilty, but was fined $250. Police said McPike claimed the money fell into a toilet.

According to authorities, the money was in an envelope labeled, "Foreign brown substance on bills." Lab test showed the stains were from excrement smeared on the bills. Prosecutors had pushed for the maximum of 30 days in jail and a $500 fine, saying the crime was disgusting. McPike's lawyer said his client made a serious error in judgment and his psychiatric practice has suffered because of it.

As reported here. Obviously a parogon of virtue and a model for his community. How did he ever think this was alright? Is the man crazy?

Funny thing, there was a survey on the page where they asked the following question

If this man were your psychiatrist, would you stop going to him?

Results so far are 89% said yes. 11% said no. I'm worried about those 11%.
