Call it the case of the public super pooper.

Holmdel police have charged Kenilworth Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Tramaglini with relieving himself in public early Monday morning after school officials reported finding "daily" deposits of excrement by an athletic field.

Tramaglini, 42, a Matawan resident, was issued citations on Monday for public urination or defecation, discarding and dumping of litter, and lewdness, according to the state's municipal court case database. Lewdness is a disorderly persons offense.

Holmdel High School staff and athletic coaches alerted a school resource officer "that they were finding human feces" at or near the track and football field "on a daily basis," according to a Facebook post by township police.

"The SRO, along with school staff, monitored the area and was able to identify a subject responsible for the acts," according to the post.


The alleged discharge of bodily waste occurred at 5:45 a.m. Monday.

Efforts to reach Tramaglini by phone and email were not successful.

Tramaglini was appointed the Kenilworth Public Schools superintendent in December 2015. His salary is listed as $147,504 a year, according to public employee records on www.datauniverse.com. Kenilworth is a pre-K to high school district.

According to public salary records, Tramaglini also takes in $5,277 a year as a Rutgers University employee. His Twitter profile reads that he is a professor there.

Tramaglini also sits on the board of directors of the non-profit Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, according to the organization's website.

Tramaglini requested and received a paid leave of absence from his job at Kenilworth Public Schools "given the nature of those charges," the district's board of education wrote in a statement. Paid leave is required by law unless an employee faces an indictment or tenure charges.


Vito Gagliardi Jr., an attorney for the board, said the members would meet Saturday to formalize the leave. Director of Academics Brian Luciano assume Tramaglini's responsibilities.

Many in social media jumped to Tramaglini's defense. Of the more than 20 comments posted about the story on the Asbury Park Press Facebook site, comments mostly focused on the overwhelming power of nature.

"When ya gotta go ya gotta go," one comment stated. Another questioned why seniors who urinate in the woods of golf courses don't face the long arm of the law.

After Tramaglini took his job leave, the district named Brian Luciani, the district's director of academics, as the acting superintendent of schools.

I've heard about marathon runners shitting during races while running but this right here?
