COLLINGDALE, PA — A Delaware County man was sentenced to nearly two years in prison and a year of probation after he broke into a local home to defecate.

According to police, the incident occurred at about 4:34 p.m. Jan. 12 at a home on Pusey Avenue in Collingdale.

Police were called to the home by a resident, who told them a man broke into their home through the basement.

When police arrived, they found the man, Gray, sitting on top of a bucket with his pants down, defecating into the bucket, in the home's kitchen.

Responding troopers noted feces all over the kitchen floor.

Authorities took Gray into custody, and he told them he broke into the home because he had to "take a s***."
