CARTERSVILLE, GA -- A first-day-of school prank left a Bartow County mother's property littered with toilet paper, shaving cream, dog feces and paper plates with degrading messages about her daughter.
The woman's home on Miltons Walk SE was the site of the prank, which she believed occurred sometime between Aug. 1 and Aug. 2. According to an incident report released by the Bartow County Sheriff's Office, the woman said she went to bed around 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1 and her property was not damaged.
However, when she woke up the following morning, she discovered someone "covered her trees with toilet paper, scattered shredded paper all over the yard and vehicles, covered her driveway with shaving cream, placed stickers all over the residence and threw dog waste on the windows," according to the report.
