Youths turn in vandals

Witnesses called police at 2:42 a.m. June 29 to report a vandalism taking place at an abandoned house on the 21000 block of Four Wheel Drive. Once on scene, officers found the walls inside the home had been smeared with paint. Beer bottles and a hatchet lay on the floor. The juveniles at the house, not suspects, gave the names of two people, an 18-year-old man and a 13-year-old girl, as the people who committed the vandalism. An arrest warrant was issued for 18-year-old Joshua Reamer-Koehl and the girl’s parents were told to contact McLaughlin Youth Center.
