Burnt human feces found on porch

The man said nothing was on the porch when he went to bed at 1 a.m. on June 20. When he awoke the next morning and walked outside to get his sandals, he discovered the remnants of a small fire.

The investigating officer noticed that the burnt pile contained what appeared to be human feces inside a rolled up wad of toilet paper.

The man said he had no idea who would do such a “nasty” thing to him but suspects it may be “a racist issue.”

The man requested extra patrols for his residence.
