Surveillance camera video released last week caught the mayor tossing a bag of dog poop onto a neighbor's yard on June 7, seconds after his wife pointed at the spot.
"I'm the kind of guy that's always picking up trash and I reached down and picked it up and I am walking down the street . . . and in a moment of stupidity, I guess I was tired of carrying it, I disposed of it on his walkway. It was a mistake," the mayor said.
Lao reported the incident to the police and released the video on June 7. Officers later fined the mayor $1,000 for littering.
