A disgruntled home health aide fired by a Connecticut family sought to get even by leaving feces in their elderly relative’s oven and refrigerator.
Forty-year-old Fiona Clarke of Fairfield, Connecticut is facing criminal mischief and breach of peace charges. Police say she denies leaving feces at the Norwalk woman’s home.
Authorities say Clarke took care of the woman but was laid off by the family last month after declining to work extra hours.

The dispute arose when the family hired another aide to cover the hours Clarke turned down.
Police say one of the woman’s relatives turned on the stove on Feb. 7 and noticed a foul smell, then opened the stove and found feces wrapped in a paper towel. Feces was also found in the refrigerator.
Clarke was arrested last week and posted $5,000 bail. She’s due to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Thursday.
