Travaglini’s lawyer complained that police have maliciously done to harm him, by releasing his mugshot before he was charged with a criminal offense
His case went viral and earned him the moniker ‘the Pooperintendent of Schools’
Consequently, he was swiftly humiliated, had to swiftly resign as school head last July after a 20-year career
‘His life is ruined’, said the position of Thomas W. Tramaglini’s attorneys, since he was exposed as the area school pooper
The ex-New Jersey superintendent who was outed as the school’s “mystery pooper” said cops defiled his name by leaking his mugshot — which quickly went viral.
Last October Thomas Tramaglini’s guilty plea required him to pay a $500 fine and court costs, as prosecutors agreed to dismiss the charges of public lewdness and littering.
Tramaglini, 42, the ex-Kenliworth Public Schools superintendent with a Ph.D from Rutgers University, had been accused of repeatedly pooping on campus grounds, prompting him to resign from his post.
He was busted in May 2018 while jogging at Holmdel High School.
The lawyer for Tramaglini called for an investigation Monday into the Holmdel police department.
His attorney said the department’s “unauthorized taking and subsequent leaking” of the 42-year-old superintendent’s mugshot turned him into a punch line.
“[Thomas Tramaglini’s] life, effectively, has been ruined,” Matthew Adams wrote in a letter to New Jersey Attorney General Gubir Grewal.

Police identified the school honcho in May 2018 as the suspect responsible for the “human feces” found near Holmdel High School’s track field on a “daily basis.” The department posted his mugshot to Facebook after using surveillance footage to catch him in the act on a run.
“The photograph gave traction to inaccurate media accounts that he had been charged with some deranged, anti-social behavior,” wrote Adams in the letter, which claims his client relieved himself in public due to a “medical emergency.”

Travaglini’s lawyer griped that police released his mugshot before he was charged with a criminal offense — and swiftly humiliated the school head who resigned last July after a 20-year career. His case went viral and earned him the moniker “the Pooperintendent of Schools.”
“There is no way for Dr. Tramaglini to cleanse the internet of what the Holmdel Police Department has so maliciously done to harm him, and the Holmdel Police Department must be held accountable,” Adams wrote in the letter.
Tramaglini has defended himself, saying he suffers from a documented medical condition known as “Runners Diahrrea” when he jogs.
“It’s been getting worse as I’ve gotten older,” Tramaglini told NJ.com. “But I run 40 miles a week and it’s not like it happens all the time.”
