Grosse Pointe Public School System said a parent of the opposing school in the football game on Nov. 6 intentionally went into the school building without authorization and defecated in the hallway.
The school district said the school’s security system caught the incident.
“This behavior is wholly unacceptable and is inconsistent with the standards of conduct and respect that the District expects of anyone entering its school facilities,” Grosse Pointe Public School System said in a statement on Monday.
Grosse Pointe South beat Temperance Bedford 42-0 in Friday night’s football game.
The school district filed a police report regarding the situation.

“The District is aware of misinformation circulating in the community regarding an incident that occurred at Grosse Pointe South High School following Friday night’s football game against Bedford High School.
Following the game, a review of the District’s security camera footage confirmed that an individual who was a parent of a Bedford High School student entered the school building without authorization and defecated in a hallway.
This behavior is wholly unacceptable and is inconsistent with the standards of conduct and respect that the District expects of anyone entering its school facilities. While interscholastic athletics provide students with valuable lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, and respect, those lessons must also be modeled by the adults who attend such athletic events.
Regardless of the outcome of a game, all individuals are expected to demonstrate appropriate conduct and respect for our students, schools, and communities.
The District has filed a police report regarding this incident and will cooperate with law enforcement as appropriate.
We appreciate the support of our school community and remain committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for our students, staff, and visitors."
Local 4 reached out to Grosse Pointe Farms police for comment.
Bedford Public Schools released the following statement Monday regarding the situation:
At Bedford Public Schools, we hold our students, staff, and community to high standards of safety, respect, and sportsmanship, both on and off the field. We are fully cooperating with the host district and local law enforcement, but due to personal privacy considerations and the active police inquiry, we cannot comment further at this time.
