Woman gets fired and puts feces in ex-employer's fridge and oven

NORWALK, Conn. (WTNH) -- A home health care worker is under arrest after police say she left feces in her former employer's oven and refrigerator. Police say she did it because she was angry that she got laid off.

40-year-old Fiona Clarke was a home health worker but not anymore. She cared for an elderly woman on New Canaan Avenue in Norwalk. Police say when asked to work more hours, Clarke said no.

When the woman's family hired another health worker, Clarke was apparently unkind to the new employee and was fired.

Losing a job stinks, but police say Clarke took it to another level, allegedly leaving feces wrapped in a towel and placed inside the woman's fridge and oven.

A family member found the fecal matter after noticing a foul smell.

Police say Clarke initially denied everything but they had enough evidence to issue a warrant for her arrest. She then turned herself in last week.

No one answered the door at Clarke's Fairfield home though the TV could be heard from outside.

She is charged with third-degree criminal mischief and breach of peace.
