A South Carolina teaching assistant has been arrested after allegedly using a foul-smelling “poop spray” at a high school, causing weeks of disruption and over $55,000 in damages. Alexander Paul Robertson Lewis, 32, was charged with disturbing schools and malicious injury to property following an investigation into mysterious odors that plagued West Florence High School.

According to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office,the incidents occurred between August 25 and September 19, during which Lewis allegedly sprayed a substance designed to imitate fecal odor multiple times throughout the school. The repeated use of the internet-bought spray triggered medical issues for several students, including respiratory problems that required medical attention. The school district was forced to spend significant resources on inspections and repairs to the air conditioning system.
