Peeper covered in feces found in Porte Potty at spiritual festival
Jun 21st
A female patron of the festival walked into a portable toilet and told police she noticed that something was moving inside the tank when she lifted the lid. She believed there might be a person inside the toilet. She left the portable toilet and asked a man who was standing nearby to go in and check.
The man told police that when he entered the toilet, he did see someone inside the tank, covered in a tarp. He, too, exited the portable toilet. A few minutes later, he heard the door lock from the inside. A festival security supervisor waited outside for several minutes and then saw a suspect emerge from the portable toilet. The supervisor tried to detain the suspect, but he ran away, covered in feces.
The suspect is described as a:
· White male
· About 20 years old
· Very tall, approximately 6’4” to 6’8”
· Thin build
· Short, dark hair
· Wearing dark gray sweatpants and no shirt or shoes
Witnesses say the suspect had several cuts on his back and legs. The suspect was also wearing leather bracelets on each wrist. At least one witness believes the suspect may use the name “Sky,” and told police that he may be a transient.

Police clear suspect in graffiti incident
May 20th
Police were called to the condo by a witness who saw the 17-year-old boy on the roof and took his picture as he left the area. When officers arrived, they found fresh graffiti on the rooftop.
During the subsequent investigation, the teen admitted to police that he had trespassed on the roof of the building, but said he did so to take sunset photos of the mountains. He provided police with those photos to support his story. He has no prior history of “tagging.”
Police will not be pursuing graffiti or vandalism charges against the teen and are still determining whether he will face trespassing charges.
