Tulsa Police Seek Public Help to Catch Serial Defecator Terrorizing Local Businesses
Tulsa police are seeking the public’s help to identify a suspect dubbed a “serial defecator” who has been terrorizing local businesses near 81st and Harvard by wearing a thong, shower cap, and a cut-open mask while smearing feces on walls and doors.
A Bizarre Crime Spree in Tulsa Shopping Centers
The Tulsa Police Department responded to an ongoing vandalism and indecent exposure case at approximately 4:22 a.m. on Aug. 19, 2026. A business owner operating near 81st and Harvard reported that a nearly naked man had been defecating into dog waste bags and actively smearing the feces across the doors and exterior walls of local commercial establishments.
Security cameras installed by local merchants captured the suspect in action. According to details shared by the Tulsa Police Department, the individual was dressed in distinctive attire during the incidents: a thong, a shower cap, a mask featuring a purposefully cut-open hole, and pink Crocs. The footage also shows the suspect exposing himself before executing the acts.
Authorities note that officers have responded to the area on multiple occasions in attempts to locate the individual, but the suspect remains at large.
