On April 29, 2025, a bizarre road rage incident in Prospect Park, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, led to the arrest of 44-year-old Christina Marie Solometo, dubbed the “Delco Pooper” by locals and social media users. The incident, which occurred at the intersection of 4th Street and Madison Avenue, was captured on video by a bystander and quickly went viral, amassing millions of views online.
According to police reports, the incident began as a traffic dispute when Solometo, driving a black Nissan, honked at a silver sedan that failed to move at a green left-turn arrow. Solometo claimed the other driver mocked her, escalating tensions. Believing the other driver was following her, Solometo stopped her vehicle, exited, and defecated on the hood of the silver sedan, leaving what police described as “liquified feces.” The video shows her smiling as she returned to her car, prompting widespread shock and amusement online.
Solometo was arrested on May 1, 2025, at her home in Ridley Park. She faces charges of indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, harassment, and depositing waste on a highway. Notably, claims on social media, including an X post, suggested she faced charges of “mass defecation and damaging public property with bodily fluids,” but these specific charges are not corroborated by official reports or legal documents cited in news outlets. Instead, the charges listed in multiple sources align with the aforementioned offenses.
During her arrest, Solometo reportedly told police, “I wanted to punch her in the face, but I pooped on her car instead and went home,” and claimed, “It was a clean poop. I didn’t even have to wipe.” She also mentioned having a “sickness” but did not elaborate. Solometo later told the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Road ragers don’t smile,” suggesting there was more to the story, though she referred further inquiries to her lawyer.
Prospect Park Police Chief David Madonna emphasized the seriousness of the incident, stating, “It can’t happen in this community. No town wants this to happen in their town.” The viral nature of the video led to local memes, nicknames like “Delco Deucer,” and even a sandwich named after the incident at a Delaware County eatery. Despite some online conspiracy theories claiming the video was staged or manipulated, Chief Madonna confirmed to Philadelphia Magazine that the incident was real and involved human excrement.
Solometo was arraigned on May 1, 2025, and initially held at the county jail after failing to post 10% of a $10,000 bail. Court records indicate she later posted $1,000 cash bail on May 2, 2025. The incident has sparked widespread discussion, with some residents expressing dismay over the negative attention to Delaware County, while others marveled at the audacity of the act.
