Tulsa Police Hunt 'Serial Defecator' After 4:30 a.m. Feces Smearing at Businesses

Q: How has a serial vandal wearing a shower cap and thong continuously outsmarted Tulsa police despite upgraded security cameras?

He appears to have stayed ahead of Tulsa police mainly because he strikes quickly in the pre-dawn hours, partially disguises himself, and leaves before officers arrive. The surveillance cameras have documented the vandalism, but they have not yet produced an identification strong enough for an arrest. Police say the suspect has repeatedly targeted businesses near 81st and Harvard, typically around 4:22 to 4:30 a.m. Video shows him wearing a thong, shower cap, cut-open face mask, and in some reports glasses, gloves, red Crocs and a cross-body bag. That combination suggests he is trying to obscure key identifying features while still moving freely and carrying what he needs. The business owner upgraded security after earlier incidents, but cameras are primarily evidentiary tools, not physical deterrents. In this case, the footage captured the conduct clearly, yet officers responding to calls have still been unable to find him in the area. That points to a narrow window between the act and police arrival, and possibly a nearby escape route or familiarity with the shopping center’s layout. Authorities have not said they know who he is, only that they have answered multiple calls and that he remains at large. Their strategy now depends on public identification rather than surveillance alone. Tulsa police have asked anyone who recognizes the man or knows where he can be found to contact Tulsa CrimeStoppers at 918-596-COPS, referencing case 2026-038363.

Tulsa police are asking for public help after a mostly naked man again smeared feces on a shopping-center business and remained at large after officers responded around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Security video showed the suspect wearing a thong, shower cap and cut-open mask, exposing himself and defecating into a dog-waste bag before smearing walls and doors, police said.
Officers have responded to the area multiple times but still have not tracked him down, prompting the department to post images and an appeal on Facebook.
The case centers on repeated vandalism targeting local businesses, with police dubbing the suspect a 'serial defecator' as they seek tips to identify and arrest him.
