The question on everyone's mind is simple: Why?

That's right, a school that has been plagued by a mystery pooper is said to have found the culprit. It's just the person they would have least suspected: The superintendent. 

Overheard in the newsroom: "Yeah, hold on one second, I just have to publish something about a superintendent pooping." https://t.co/dxTFp106RZ

Holmdel High School in New Jersey started seeing feces on the track and football field on a daily basis and decided to monitor the area to see if they could catch the pooper in the act... and they did. The superintendent, Thomas Tramaglini, has been placed on paid leave after being arrested on Monday. Not a bad deal for a guy who makes $147,504 a year, according to NJ.com. 

It seems like he must have been wanting to get caught, as he was pooping on the field on a near daily basis, though his motive remains unclear. Maybe he just wanted to see if he could get away with it. You know what they say... some people just want to watch the world burn.

This is like the world's worst Scooby Doo ending: "Mystery pooper at N.J. high school's track turned out to be superintendent, cops say"

He would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their dog! @alexnapoNJ @njdotcom #poop https://t.co/7wPUmEtVLg

School staff allegedly spotted the superintendent on Monday morning defecating after a run on the feild, and police placed him under arrest at 5:45 am that day, NJ.com reports. Aside from the defecating and urinating charges, the superintendent was charged with lewdness and littering.
