Wilder police warn of littering charges over toilet papering

Wilder Police are warning students that Homecoming toilet papering could lead to littering charges.

The warning

The Wilder Police Department’s warning is directed at students who participate in the Homecoming tradition. Police say the conduct could be treated as littering.

The warning does not change the activity’s name or setting: the issue is toilet papering connected with Homecoming in Wilder. Students considering taking part face the possibility of a littering charge, based on the police warning.

What students should know

The central point is that placing toilet paper as part of the tradition may bring police attention. Students and families should review any guidance issued by Wilder Police or school officials before participating.

A littering charge is a legal matter. The police warning puts students on notice that the activity may not be treated only as a school tradition or prank.

What happens next

The next step is any additional guidance from Wilder Police about how the warning will be enforced and what conduct could result in a charge. School officials may also issue information about Homecoming activities and student expectations.
