Is it a CRIME to take the piss?

An Omaha man is accused of a strange crime of taking urine samples of women when they thought they were applying for a job. Kevin Oliver on Thursday was found guilty of two counts of criminal impersonation.

According to prosecutors, the 31-year-old man told victims that he worked for cell phone company T-Mobile and was interviewing them for a job. However, there were no jobs and his only motive was to collect their urine samples.

AP quotes Omaha city prosecutor Marty Conboy as saying, "To this day, we don't know what his ultimate goal was but whatever it was it was deceptive, it was damaging and it was protracted. This went on for 18 months that we know of."

Investigators carried out three searches of Oliver's home but failed to come up with any other signs of criminal activity. Oliver is scheduled to spend eight days in jail and 18 months on probation.
