A knife-wielding mugger who robbed a woman of her bags before discovering they were full of dog mess has been jailed for four years.
David Carlisle, 32, forced 52-year-old Marion Budd to hand over the bags at knifepoint last July as she walked her dog in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol.
When he realised what he had taken, Carlisle, a drug addict and father-of -four, fled the scene empty-handed.
Carlisle was tracked down after his DNA was found on the car used in the attempted robbery, and was later identified by the dog walker in a video ID parade.
The bungling would-be thief was jailed after admitting attempted robbery.
Recorder John Trevaskis told him it was "testament to his incompetence" that he had attempted to steal a bag of dog excrement.
