'Support Our Police' Sign Used To Cover Dog Feces In Pottstown: Report

POTTSTOWN, PA — A "Support Our Police" yard sign was allegedly used to cover up dog feces by a Pottstown School Principal, according to a report.

The Reading Eagle reports that the incident occurred on April 27 when Lincoln Elementary School Principal Calista Boyer was walking on Reynolds Avenue with around 100 third and fourth grade students.

She noticed the droppings in the sidewalk and said she took the nearby sign and placed it on top of them so that the kids would not walk in it, the report states. She said she did not read the sign before she took it, and apologized for her actions.

Diane M. Sauermelch, whose lawn the sign was on and whose son is a police officer, has filed a criminal mischief complaint with authorities, the report states.

Sauermelch said the droppings were not from her dog.
