Students awake to human feces in their trash can
On Jan. 27, at approximately 1:40 p.m., Campus Police was dispatched to Wolfe Hall to speak with two female residents who believed someone came into their room the previous night and defecated in their trash can.
Upon arrival, Campus Police met with the two female residents, and a male resident who lived in the room across from them. The female residents reported that they went to bed at approximately 12:50 a.m., and had left their door unlocked for their friend, the male resident, who said he would be spending the night in their room, according to police reports. They did not detect any foul or strange odors in their room at the time they went to bed.
Shortly after the female residents went to sleep, the male resident came into the female residents’ room at approximately 1 a.m. and fell asleep without locking the door, police said. The male said that at the time of his entry, he did not smell any type of foul odor.
When the three students awoke at approximately 10:30 a.m., the two female residents advised that they smelled a foul odor in their room, according to police reports. At that time, they thought that the male resident who slept on the floor could be the cause of the smell. They proceeded to get ready for the day, and all occupants left the room at approximately 11:30 a.m., police said.
When the residents returned at approximately 12:50 p.m., they noticed that the odor was stronger and decided to investigate the room further. Upon their investigation, they found that one of their trash cans located next to their door contained what they believed to be human feces and urine, police said. They asked the male if he did it, and he said that he had not. The residents then cleaned out the trash can and contacted Campus Police to have a report written at that time, according to police reports.
Campus Police asked the female residents if they had any idea who might have done it, and they stated that they did not. Campus Police asked if anyone woke up to any odd sounds, or if the male noticed anything unusual before he came in, and they all advised they did not.
The residents also informed Campus Police that nothing in their room was missing or out of place. Campus Police advised the residents to contact them if they had any further information.

He then went to the lobby and advised another worker of what happened and asked him to call Campus Police, police said.

The male student pointed out the suspect, who was standing on the opposite side of the gymnasium with two other males, police said.

A local broadcast was put out giving a description of the suspect and other two males. Campus Police searched the area with negative results.
The male student stated that he believed the suspects were not students at the College, police said. When asked how the suspects entered the Rec Center, he said that he believed that someone inside opened the rear door to let them in.
