Police are searching for a man accused of using fireworks to set a porta-potty on fire at a Dracut, Massachusetts, park earlier this month.

Investigators released a photo of the suspect as he was seen stepping out of a porta-potty at Veteran's Memorial Park on Aug. 18. Police say surveillance footage shows the man setting off fireworks inside the porta-potty before the fire department was called to put it out.
