Thomas Tramaglini, 42, schools superintendent in Kenilworth, was charged April 30 after police investigated reports that Holmdel High School staff were finding human excrement on or near the school track and football field on a daily basis.

After receiving reports of the public pooping from school staff and athletic coaches, police set up surveillance and were able to “identify a subject responsible for the acts,’’ the township police department posted on its Facebook page.
