Hope Mills, NC - An 18-year-old was accused Tuesday of repeatedly defecating on the playground at Rockfish Road Elementary School, a Cumberland County Sheriff's Office news release said.

Robert Christopher Elliott, 18, of the 3700 block of Masters Drive in Hope Mills, was charged with three misdemeanors - second-degree trespassing, injury to real property and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, his younger brother. Bail was set at $500.

Elliot's younger brother was charged with second-degree trespassing. The release did not identify Elliot's younger brother because he is a juvenile.

For the last few weeks, the release said Rockfish Road Elementary School staff repeatedly found human feces on the school's playground.

The school is in the 5700 block of Rockfish Road in Hope Mills near South Main Street.

In order to catch the people responsible for the feces, the Cumberland County safe schools coordinator Bruce Morrison installed cameras around the school's playground, the release said.

Soon after the cameras were installed, Morrison said they showed Elliott defecating on the playground while his younger brother was with him.

As the Sheriff's Office began investigating the video footage, the release said they discovered that Elliott also took pictures of himself defecating on the playground, the release said.
