Suspicious incident. Local restaurant employees arrived to work to find an unpleasant surprise: feces near a post by the entrance.
An officer spoke with the restaurant manager, who said video surveillance showed what appeared to be two homeless men lingering in the front of the business. One is seen walking off-camera and the second retrieves feces from the front of his pants and throws it down the front support pillar, according to the incident report.
The manager told police he would try to resolve an issue with the motion lights not working properly and said he would contact them if he saw the man again.
