Man claims his mother put faeces on toothbrush

A long-overdue bathroom cleaning has led to a toothbrush tampering accusation in Lower Saucon Township, police said.

Investigators say Deborah Woist, 52, decided on July 18 to tidy up a bathroom inside her Springtown Hill Road because it hadn't been cleaned in two months. The problem, police said, is that she used her son's toothbrush for the job and later returned it to its holder.



The son, 26-year-old Justin Novack, called police claiming his mother applied faeces to his tooth brush.

When police arrived at the home, Woist admitted she used the brush for cleaning and then put it back on the holder, police said. Woist was cited for harassment, police said.
