According to court records, police were dispatched to the 300 block of East High Street at 8:29 p.m. on November 20, when they encountered 50-year-old Thomas Wambold, who allegedly appeared to be in an intoxicated state. Police placed Wambold under arrest for public drunkenness, as well as for an existing summary warrant, and transported him to the Pottstown Police Department.

Upon being placed in a holding cell, Wambold allegedly became agitated and began to yell and scream. The affidavit of probable cause states that Wambold then defecated in the sink, urinated on the floor, and attempted to flush his pants in an effort to flood the cell. Police were forced to shut off the water supply to avoid the clog and overflow.

Wambold was then charged with institutional vandalism, which is a class two misdemeanor.
