05 May 2019
Holmdel Police Department
It's one thing to defecate on and near the track of your own town's high school.
It's quite another to try and file suit against that town.
<p>Thomas Tramaglini, the 43-year-old former superintendent of schools in Kenilworth, N.J. who was charged with littering and public defecation, is now suing the township of Holmdel "claiming police <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/05/01/school-chief-sues-over-being-outed-a-mystery-pooper/" target="_blank">gave his mugshot</a> to news outlets before he was criminally charged."</p><p><em>You can read our 2018 coverage of the story</em> <strong><em><a href="https://guacamoley.com/the-scoop/2018/05/04/new-jersey-high-schools-mystery-pooper-turns-out-to-be-the-superintendent/" target="_blank">here</a></em></strong>.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
