A Florida woman is accused of dumping a bucket of human feces on a neighbor she believed was involved in a sexual relationship with her husband.
Yirsi Machado Rivera faces burglary and battery charges following the alleged confrontation at a mobile home park in Opa-locka, Florida. It was not immediately clear whether Rivera had entered a plea or retained an attorney.
“The defendant denied entering the victim’s residence,” according to a complaint and arrest affidavit obtained by Oxygen, “and throwing ‘caca’ at the victim.”
At a Sept. 8 bond hearing, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Mindy S. Glazer ordered Rivera held in pretrial detention. “This is an interesting case,” Glazer said. “A bucket of poop. Stay away from the alleged victim.”
The dispute escalated on Sept. 7, according to court documents, when Rivera began pounding on the neighbor’s door. The two women lived in separate sections of a split trailer.
“The victim opened the door,” the documents state, “and the defendant began accusing the victim of having a sexual relationship with the defendant’s husband.”
Investigators said Rivera then forced her way into the residence and shoved the woman. Before leaving, Rivera allegedly “threw a bucket containing human feces onto the victim.”

Rivera was arrested and brought in for questioning, but she offered investigators a different account of what happened.
She said she had been trying to dispose of a bucket of “caca” because the toilet in her residence was broken, according to the documents. Rivera also said the two women had argued about the “smell of caca.”
Rivera further alleged that the neighbor became violent during the confrontation.
As the complaint read, “The defendant advised that the victim hit her over the head with a bat causing a laceration to her head.”
However, a note in the document read, “The defendant stated to the witness that she pooped in a bucket to throw it in the victim’s face.”
Rivera was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
A spokesperson from the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Oxygen.
