I know stealing is wrong, but so is humilating a person as the Marshalltown police and court system have done to this woman! Even the police spokesperson could not keep his professionalism during his 5 minutes of fame, which is very disgusting! Have you ever seen a police spokesperson talk about a bank robbery, accident, rape or murder laughing, I haven't - if you are reportreporting the "NEWS" report the news, but don't humiliate a poor woman who is stealing toilet paper to wipe her butt! By the way, I have never heard of a market for stolen toilet paper! The reason I started this web-site is to speak out about the way they are using her name and the theft of toilet paper to get media attention to there little town! Do you think if Suzanne Butt's name was Jane Doe, this woman and her crimes would have been on news stationstv and in papers all over this country. I don't think so!





IN A TIME WHEN PARIS HILTON AND PERVERTS GET OFF WITH A SLAP ON THE HAND, ISN'T IT SAD THAT WHEN A WOMAN NEEDS SOME TOILET PAPER SHE CAN FACE UP TO 3 YEARS IN PRISON!

It’s not quite 25 to life, but stealing toilet paper from the Marshall County Courthouse could prove costly for one Marshall County resident.

A woman was discovered taking toilet paper from the courthouse Monday, according to police reports, something she has apparently been adept at doing for a quite a while.

No one could remember exactly when, but toilet paper started disappearing at “unusually high rates,” even for county employees, said a source close to the problem. In other words, something didn’t smell quite right.

It had long ago been suspected that the problem was more than just overactive bowels, but no one could quite prove it. That is, until the culprit was caught red-handed by authorities.

“A courthouse employee saw her walk from a storeroom carrying a bag of toilet paper,” said Marshalltown Police Chief Lon Walker.

The woman allegedly involved in the situation, Suzanne Marie Butts, has been referred to as the toilet paper bandit by some county employees.

Though she apparently has a concern for hygiene, she may find herself in a messy situation.

Because of prior convictions, Butts faces up to two years in prison — for three rolls of toilet paper. Despite what some may consider a harsh penalty, Supervisor Gordie Johnson was not sympathetic.

“We have three strikes and you’re out and I consider each roll of toilet paper a strike,” he said, tongue in cheek.

Butts has prior theft convictions, as well as several other theft charges which are pending.
