ST. PETERSBURG — Police say it was shortly after midnight Thursday when the two men climbed over a security fence at the Renaissance Vinoy Hotel.
Nearby was the pool. But Michael Cline, 19, and Andrew Harris, 18, weren't there to swim, police say.
In fact, their actions forced the hotel to clean and bleach the pool.
The two were watched by Vinoy security guards as they befouled the swimming pool with human feces. Guards called police, who found the men in the hot tub.
Harris told police he wasn't a guest at the Vinoy and wasn't visiting anyone, but he regularly went to the hotel to swim.
Both Harris and Cline denied the allegations.
Security guards told police similar incidents have happened recently, forcing the hotel to close the pool and drain it, and to compensate some guests.
The men face charges of commercial burglary, a felony, and were taken to the Pinellas County Jail. They remained in jail Thursday in lieu of $10,000 bail. Police say the men were charged with felonies because of the cost of cleaning the facility.
The pool should be in service by this morning, Bond said.

Okay. I bite. Why?
LOL.
In before Caddyshack picture of the floating Baby Ruth.
It’s pretty funny that befouler #1 had the guts to smile in his mugshot.
Good luck proving this one.
Maybe. In grade school I had a friend who was always blamed for leading me into trouble. By his parents as well as mine. Guess what!?! lol
The comments underneath suggesting punishments are pretty good.
One says they should have been forced to clean the pool with bleach and a toothbrush.
Another says, ‘What a couple of losers. After authorities are done with them parents should make them stand at a busy intersection holding a sign saying “I sh*t in the pool at the Vinoy because I am a moron” as well as work to pay restitution to the Vinoy.
How did the one on the right get Governor Blagojevich’s hair? Or is that one of john Edwards’ kids?
Wow. We have a reservation at the Vinoy for tomorrow night. Before reading this I was contemplating bringing our bathing suits for an evening swim. Now I don’t care how many times they drain and bleach the pool, I’m not going in.
I would beat the smirk right off of that idiots face.
They're not men.
And they should be horse-whipped.
After the one with the smirk gets his teeth punched in.
Speaking of “befouling”, why on earth did you post this vulgar report at Free Republic?
Should be forced to swim in the pool for one hour and then forced to clean the pool then go to jail,idiots.
