Last week, an incident of vandalism occurred at the Summertown football field, involving two juveniles who were caught in the act. Witnesses reported seeing the individuals dismantling the field goals, rendering them both unusable and irreparable. In a troubling twist, the juveniles recorded their actions on video and later confessed to their wrongdoing.
As a consequence of their actions, both students have been prohibited from attending any remaining games for the current year. The situation has been escalated to their parents, who have been informed of the events that transpired. In accordance with school policy, a juvenile petition was initiated to address the matter formally.
The estimated cost to repair the damage caused by this vandalism is approximately $400. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting community property and the repercussions that can arise from such destructive behavior.
