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 and received reports of unknown substances on vehicles, targeting Homes that had nothing to do with Homecoming.
The Police Department wrote that "students will no longer be permitted to go out toilet papering," and Officials threatened to cite participants with littering charges.
Regarding the decision, the Police Department noted they trusted students to celebrate responsibly, but "that trust was not respected," resulting in criminal activity.
