High school football parent caught on camera pooping in rival school’s hallway, police say

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. (WWJ) - Police in Michigan say the father of a high school student was caught on camera defecating in the hallway at a rival school during a district championship football game.

Officials with Grosse Pointe Public Schools say the father of a Bedford High School student entered Grosse Pointe South High School without permission Friday night during a football game between the two schools and took a bowel movement in the middle of a hallway.

“It seems very immature for a parent to act that way,” resident Christina Dzul said.

Officers with Grosse Pointe Farms Police are investigating the incident, which was caught on camera. They say the father got into the school through a door that had been left open for a scheduled band concert.

Police say the school’s security footage shows the man walk past multiple bathrooms before allegedly defecating on the hallway floor.

Police used the video to identify the father. During the investigation, he reportedly said he had experienced a medical emergency. However, police say they are still looking into the incident.

“This behavior is wholly unacceptable and is inconsistent with the standards of conduct and respect that the District expects of anyone entering its school facilities. The District has filed a police report regarding this incident and will cooperate with law enforcement as appropriate,” said Grosse Pointe Public Schools in a statement released Monday.

Bedford Public Schools Superintendent Carl Shultz also released a statement that said, “At Bedford Public Schools, we hold our students, staff, and community to high standards of safety, respect, and sportsmanship, both on and off the field. We are fully cooperating with the host district and local law enforcement.”

One resident named Andrew says he isn’t surprised by the incident, given the current state of youth sports.

“Honestly, these days with youth sports and parents and the way people get into their feelings, nothing surprises me,” he said. “People are animals.”

Grosse Pointe South beat Bedford 42-0 in Friday night’s football game.
