CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Cumberland County authorities arrested a teen accused of repeatedly pooping on school playground equipment.

According to officials, staff at Rockfish Road Elementary were forced to clean the equipment after someone kept leaving behind human feces.

After a few weeks, school officials decided they had enough of the serial pooper.

Security cameras were installed at the playground and soon afterwards, the suspect was caught on camera.

School officials shared the video with the sheriff's department and after a short investigation the suspect was identified as 18-year-old Robert Christopher Elliott.

Officials said security video caught Elliott, along with his juvenile brother, defecating on the equipment and taking pictures afterwards.

Both were charged with second-degree trespassing.

Elliott was charged with injury to real property and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
