READFIELD, Maine (AP) — Police say two teenagers chased off Kents Hill School grounds for skateboarding returned a few days later and caused several thousand dollars in damage to three school buses.
Authorities say 18-year-old Thomas Martha and 19-year-old Christopher Pelletier were issued summonses charging each with aggravated criminal mischief. They are scheduled to appear in Kennebec County Superior Court on June 26.
A sheriff’s deputy was called to the private school on Monday and found the three buses vandalized. They had slashed tires, smashed windows and broken lights. Damage was estimated at $7,000.
School officials told police about two skateboarders who had been escorted from the property a few days before.
Police tell the Kennebec Journal that the suspects were tracked down and admitted to what they had done.
