BOULDER, Colo. -- Boulder Police are looking for a man who was seen hiding inside a portable toilet during last Friday’s Hanuman Yoga Festival at Boulder High School.
“A female patron of the festival walked into a portable toilet and told police she noticed that something was moving inside the tank when she lifted the lid,” said police spokeswoman Kim Kobel.
Believing there was a person inside, the female left the portable toilet and asked a man who was standing nearby to go in and check.
“The man told police that when he entered the toilet, he did see someone inside the tank, covered in a tarp,” said Kobel. A few moments later, he heard the door lock from the inside.
A festival security supervisor waited outside for several minutes and then saw the suspect emerge from the portable toilet.
“The supervisor tried to detain the suspect, but he ran away, covered in feces,” Kobel said.
The suspect is described as a very tall white male, around 20-years-old with a thin build and short, dark hair. He was wearing dark gray sweatpants and no shirt or shoes at the time.
Witnesses say the suspect had several cuts on his back and legs, and was also wearing leather bracelets on each wrist.
At least one witness believes the suspect may use the name “Sky,” and told police that he may be a transient, Kobel said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Jeremy Frenzen at 303-441-1890.
