EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. - A Florida man is charged with throwing a toilet through the window of an Illinois school board office, police said.
Dave Tolivar, 36, allegedly hauled an old toilet to a Board of Education building Feb. 15 in East St. Louis and hurled it through the glass of a front window, according to a statement from police. Officers responded and found Tolivar a few blocks away, sitting on another old toilet, police said.
Tolivar has been charged with one count of criminal damage to property.
Tolivar is from Daytona Beach, Florida, The Miami Herald reported. It’s unclear what brought him to Illinois.
Even more of a mystery is how he came into possession of two commodes -- and why he allegedly used one to commit a crime.

America’s urban streets, thanks largely to liberal/left policies, are filled to the rafters with the mentally disturbed, and when one goes off like an atom of plutonium, the media starts wringing its hands and tries to ‘explain’ it.
You can take a man out of Florida....
Curse him for destroying a good old toilet. If at least 3gal, that is worth something. Would kill for pre-PC toilets!
Not in Florida. We do pink flamingos.
Alabama does cars-up-on-cinder-blocks.
If anyone does toilets, it’s Mississippi.
Of course it does. Now copper pipes are another matter. They are chronically short of copper pipes.
Why would someone from Daytona Beach move to East St. Louis?
From Kennedy Era “Americas Finest City” to scum bucket capital of the world....Chicago South, but NO white people..
I had a National Lampoon Vacation moment in East St. Louis.
It’s all true, and worse.
Ahh. This story reminds me of the thief who stole every last toilet in the Police Station.
A mystery. The police had “nothing to go on”.
East St. Louis, the only place in the Us I had a police officer stop me and tell me to run every red light to the highway because I did not belong there.
My first thought was that I hoped it wasn’t a 3.5 gallon toilet. That would be a waste.
My second thought is that he’s an artiste, getting ideas for a “Dunham Atomicus” with Lena Dunham sitting in water, eating a cat, with flying toilets and cakes in the foreground. /Philippe Halsman
Florida man took over right after Area Man died. A master criminal that also happened to like geometry and calculus.
Don’t know which is worse: being trapped in a toilet or being trapped in Illinois.
an intact high volume toilet, i would have bought it from him.........
Yes, but most people call them "alleys."
For the scenery, of course.
duh.
Pretty much the same thing--if the toilet has been used.
