- Kenilworth public schools superintendent Thomas Tramaglini was arrested on charges of lewdness, littering, and defecating in public for pooping on the school grounds.

- Turns out, it was the superintendent all along, according to police.
A school district superintendent was charged with pooping on the grounds of Holmdel High School in New Jersey, solving a mystery that haunted the school for months.
For several months, students of the Holmdel High School track team wondered who was pooping near the track field where they practiced, saying the poop was found almost daily, according to Patch.
High school staff notified the police that they were "finding human feces, on or near the area of the High School track / football field on a daily basis," according to a police statement.
Police investigated and, at 5:45 a.m. on Monday, caught Kenilworth public schools superintendent Thomas Tramaglini in the act, according to the Ashbury Park Press.
"I don't know if it was daily, but it's been going on for a while," a Holmdel community member told Patch. "I heard it was at least eight times in the past few months."
Police charged Tramaglini with lewdness, littering, and defecating in public.
Tramaglini makes $150,000 per year and was granted paid leave, Kenilworth Public Schools said in a statement. He deleted his Twitter account after his arrest. Tramaglini didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
