The ever diligent Brewton Standard reports today of the apprehension and arrest of three teens who allegedly vandalized property at T.R. Miller High School. Everybody is in on this one. Brewton police chief Monte McGougin says:
The acts committed by the suspects are ones law enforcement officials find senseless, McGougin said. “This is something we simply are not going to tolerate,” McGougin said. “We will investigate any acts of vandalism and work to arrest those responsible for this type of activity.”
Then Brewton City School Superintendent Lynn Smith says:
Brewton City Schools Superintendent Lynn Smith said Friday he had not received a full report about the individuals charged in the case. “I haven't gotten any statement from the police on who the vandals are,” Smith said. “We will be waiting on a full report from them to determine what action we will be taking in the matter.”
Obviously these kids aren't as connected to the system as the ones involved in the Brewton Country Club vandalism several months ago which (unless it was done very quietly and out of the public eye) hasn't been solved. Here is that story:
(May 2)A Sunday morning discovery by workers at the Brewton Country Club has sparked an investigation concerning the vandalism of more than 25 golf carts.
“There are between 25 and 30 golf carts involved in this vandalism situation,” said Robert Lynn, Brewton Country Club manager. “I don’t want to give too much information, because I don’t want to jeopardize the investigation that would get these kids arrested.”
Lynn said Brewton Police were contacted on Sunday morning and Sgt. Eric Suarez was the investigating officer with the department.
Suarez said the department made the initial investigation and assessed the damage to the grounds and golf carts at the club.
“We went out and made a report about the vandalism situation at the Country Club,” Suarez said. “Workers at the Club arrived at work on Sunday morning to find the golf carts had been taken from the shed where they are stored. We found that the greens had been run over by the carts and some of them were wrecked where they were run into each other. We even found some of the carts stuck in the sand traps on the golf course.”
Suarez said since the Country Club is located outside the city limits of Brewton that the case has been turned over to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department for further investigation.
“We have done all that we can in the case,” Suarez said. “Since it is in the County’s jurisdiction, we turned any further investigation in the case over to the Sheriff’s office.”
Cameron Fillingin is the investigating officer for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department.
“We are still investigating this case,” Fillingin said. “I won’t be able to release any additional information until the investigation is complete.”
So what happened with the golf cart vandalism investigation? Did it get solved? Was it ever in the paper again?
