Grosse Pointe North's Daniel Taylor tackles Grosse Pointe South's Egan Sullivan during first-half action on Friday, Oct. 21, 2022
It’s not uncommon for parents to step over the line at high school football games. But one parent from Bedford High School in Michigan took things a couple of steps too far during a recent playoff game at Grosse Point South.
According to a report from The Detroit News, officials from the Grosse Pointe Public School System say a parent entered the high school and proceeded to defecate in the hallway during Grosse Point South’s 42-0 victory.
That’s right, folks, we’ve got a mysterious hallway pooper.
Michigan High School Files Police Report To Catch Football Game Pooper
According to school officials, a “review of the District’s security camera footage confirmed that an individual who was a parent of a Bedford High School student entered the school building without authorization and defecated in a hallway.”
In an ensuing statement, officials said that “This behavior is wholly unacceptable and is inconsistent with the standards of conduct and respect that the District expects of anyone entering its school facilities. While interscholastic athletics provide students with valuable lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, and respect, those lessons must also be modeled by the adults who attend such athletic events.
“Regardless of the outcome of a game, all individuals are expected to demonstrate appropriate conduct and respect for our students, schools, and communities.”
Shortly after, Bedford Public Schools Superintendent Carl Schultz announced that he’d work with Grosse Point to find the culprit.
“At Bedford Public Schools, we hold our students, staff, and community to high standards of safety, respect, and sportsmanship, both on and off the field,” Schultz said. “We are fully cooperating with the host district and local law enforcement, but due to personal privacy considerations and the active police inquiry, we cannot comment further at this time.”
Meanwhile, Grosse Point South is set to host yet another playoff game this Friday against Franklin. Something tells us they’ll make sure all doors to the school are secured.
