It may have been Christmas Eve, but those weren't reindeer droppings left at a home in Shippensburg, Pa. The Smoking Gun reports on a "crappy" prank that now has 18-year-old Dylan Printz charged with arson and risking catastrophe. Cops responded around 3am Monday to a report of a "bag of dog poop ... lit on fire on a porch," and a female tenant told police she suspected Printz, with whom she'd had a recent argument.

When cops caught up with Printz, they say he confessed to taking a paper bag from a Chinese food order, cramming it with dog feces, and setting it ablaze with a lighter. His reasoning, per police: "[to] get back at the people who lived there for an earlier fight." WHTM reports Printz was taken to Cumberland County Prison after he couldn't make his $20,000 bail. (A California mayor resigned over a dog poop incident.)
