Alabama police officers struck back at high school seniors who toilet papered their headquarters, launching a surprise tactical operation on the students’ homes days before Halloween.
The Heflin Police Department executed their revenge Tuesday night after the Class of 2026 covered the police station, squad cars, and surrounding trees with toilet paper as part of a senior prank.
“We know who you are and while you just put the PlayStation controller down for a week, we are children of the 80s and 90s who perfected this craft years ago,” Police Chief Ross McGlaughn wrote on Facebook.
McGlaughn assembled officers and community members for the counterattack, targeting three student homes with parental permission. The chief deceived students into expecting retaliation on Halloween night, then struck two days early.
“Old school rules were put into place. We would park down the road and approach the target on foot,” McGlaughn said. Officers avoided setting off alarms and cameras while covering trees and bushes with toilet paper.
The operation followed what McGlaughn called tactical principles: “speed, surprise, and violence of action.” Teams scattered toilet paper across properties before retreating on foot to their vehicles.
Unfortunately for the officers, rain damaged their work overnight, turning the display into what McGlaughn described as a “soggy mess.”
“As long as they’re doing this, they’re not getting in trouble doing something else,” McGlaughn told CBS News. “I haven’t seen any type of drugs or alcohol involved, because I think they’re spending all their money on toilet paper.”
In response to the pranks, students created a cleanup service, selling “TP insurance” to residents. Their “Toilet Paper Rapid Response Team” removes toilet paper from insured properties after pranks.
“It brings a sense of community,” one student said.
