NEW ORLEANS, March 21 (UPI) -- Police say they investigated claims a "Real World: New Orleans" resident made a fellow housemate sick by urinating on the individual's toothbrush.

The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune said Thursday a police report details "Real World" resident Ryan Leslie's claims his housemate, Preston Roberson-Charles, caused him to fall ill by tainting his toothbrush.

Leslie, 21, told police he suspected Roberson-Charles, whose age was not reported, urinated on his toothbrush and also used the hygiene instrument to clean a toilet. Leslie said Roberson-Charles' alleged actions came weeks after the two men had an argument.

"Preston later came in my room and took my toothbrush off the counter and scrubbed the inside of the toilet and urinated on my tooth brush," Leslie alleged in a statement to police.

The alleged incident took place during filming of the newest season of MTV's "Real World" reality series. The "New Orleans" season is expected to air later this year.

The Times-Picayune said while police kept Leslie's toothbrush as evidence, no immediate arrests were made.
