Police in Illinois Recover 650 Rolls of Toilet Paper Amid Rise in Homecoming Week Vandalism
Police said students may face littering citations after vandalism reports and intercepted 650 rolls of toilet paper intended for Homecoming pranks.
The Wilder Police Department banned homecoming toilet papering after recent vandalism reports, effectively ending a longstanding tradition in CANYON COUNTY, Idaho.
While initially supporting the tradition, Officials noted that recent activities involved 20 to 25 people wearing hoodies and ski masks, resulting in significant property damage.
Authorities intercepted 650 rolls of toilet paper intended for the "activities," while reports documented unknown substances sprayed on vehicles and driveways targeting Homes unrelated to Homecoming.
Unfortunately, the Police Department wrote that "students will no longer be permitted to go out toilet papering," while Officials threatened littering charges against participants.
The Police Department stated they trusted students to celebrate responsibly, but "that trust was not respected," forcing cancellation of the activity due to criminal conduct.
