Bag shitter/Poo-petrator has been caught. Details inside

This is an update to my previous post about a person that would poop in plastic grocery bags and attempt to flush them down the toilet. This clogged the toilet.

Our floor's original thinking was that this was a prank being pulled by another floor. Our RA was suspicious as well, so he had the maintenance staff lock the bathroom door for our floor. Everyone on only our floor could use our room keys to get in, but no one else could. This is how all girls bathrooms are like in our dorms to prevent sexual assault. We thought our problem was solved. Three days after the lock engaging the bagged shit reappears.

The bags of shit continue to show up about every third day. On Sunday the bag shitter happened to strike right after the bathroom was cleaned. We realize that along with the plastic bag of poo there was wet toilet paper in one of the showers. The weird thing was the toilet paper in the shower had no signs of poo. They were just wet. This clue is what broke the case open. We thought back to the previous reddit submission where throwsuperaway comment that the person might not realize he is clogging the toilet. Our thinking was that the person pooed while he was in the shower, used the shower as a makeshift bidet, and was able to wipe cleanly. Since we are American, most of us on the floor had never used a bidet. It basically left it down to the only international student on the floor.

The international student is Asian. We were actually put into an awkward situation, where we basically wanted it to be anyone but the Asian kid. The Asian student never talks to anyone on the floor, and has never gone to one of our floor meetings. We realized he had never heard anyone complain about the bag shitting. In fact, every time he went to put his bag in the toilet the previous had been cleaned out. Our bathroom is cleaned daily, and he probably assumed it wasn't causing any problems.

We investigated our hypothesis. The guys roommate had us come in and we saw loads of grocery bags. His drawers were overstuffed. We looked at his shower caddy (basket to carry soap, shampoo, etc..). There were two plastic bags in it. We told our RA and he didn't want to believe it, because it wasn't mischief anymore. It was strangely cultural? Not sure if that's the right word, but the RA said he'd think about the plan of action. Fast-Forward to about 2 hours about. While one person was in at the urinal, he heard a shower door open and close. He then heard the sound of crinkly plastic bag, fallowed by a bathroom stall door closing. He quickly finished up and ran out the look, and sure enough it was the Asian student.

We don't know if he will be punished or not. Our RA had told us before that once caught the bag shitter would have to deal with the police. It might be a slap of the wrist in the end.
