Palatka, FL – The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect accused of stealing batteries from a local portable toilet business.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the theft occurred recently at a Porta Potty company in Putnam County. Deputies described the case humorously online, calling it a “poopy situation,” but said they are serious about finding the person responsible for the “dirty deed.”
Authorities shared surveillance images of the individual believed to have taken the batteries. The department noted that while the tone of their message was lighthearted, theft remains a criminal offense, and tips could qualify for a cash reward.
Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of North East Florida at 1-888-277-8477 or submit a tip via the P3 app. Tips are anonymous and may be eligible for a reward if they lead to an arrest.
