Pranksters Toilet-Paper Robert Rizzo's Huntington Beach Home

HUNTINGTON BEACH (AP) — First he was charged with 53 criminal counts in a public corruption scandal that has gained nationwide attention.

Now someone has toilet-papered the Huntington Beach home of disgraced former Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo.

The Los Angeles Times reports that neighbors awoke Monday morning to find streams of toilet paper scattered all over the front of Rizzo's house.

The ousted official, who is free on $2 million bail, apparently was not home.

Rizzo is charged with misappropriating public funds, conflict of interest and falsifying public records.

Authorities say Rizzo and other public officials ripped off Bell, a small, working-class city, to the tune of $5.5 million.
