MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. - A small stretch of this Wisconsin village might want to change its name to "Mount Unpleasant" now that the diaper dumper has struck again.

Residents along Braun Road report 12 to 15 of the used adult diapers have shown up in the grassy ditch, apparently dumped in the middle of the night. Similar activity had been reported to The Journal Times of Racine in January before it stopped, at least temporarily.

Police haven't received any reports about the latest incidents, said Lt. Wally Sparks when reached Thursday night.

The road is near Interstate 94, providing quick access and escape for whoever dumps the diapers, he said, and the area is not conducive to use of a surveillance camera to catch the culprit on video.

"It's a rural stretch of road," Sparks said. "Obviously you can't cover a quarter or half mile with a camera."

He said there was little police could do, unless a witness can provide a vehicle description or license plate number, which has not yet happened.

Anyone caught doing the dumping likely would be cited for violating the village's littering ordinance, he said.
