Marble Falls police nab juveniles suspected of burglaries, mischief at middle school, church
MARBLE FALLS — Two juveniles are suspected of cutting a swath of mischief and mayhem Nov. 13 that included breaking into the Marble Falls Middle School press box and a church on Mormon Mill Road.
The spree ended when police caught up with two teen boys and charged them under juvenile statutes with criminal mischief of a place of worship, criminal mischief, burglary of a building and burglary of a vehicle.
They were transported to the Kerr County Juvenile Detention Center in Kerrville.
Police Capt. Glenn Hanson said officers arrested a 15 year old and a 16 year old in connection with a series of incidents that included discharging a fire extinguisher inside a Marble Falls Independent School District vehicle.
Investigators said the episode began when intruders got inside the press box at the middle school’s Pony Stadium, 1511 Pony Circle, and grabbed a fire extinguisher. From there, Hanson said, the duo forced their way into a school vehicle and sprayed the fire extinguisher.
“They also broke into another vehicle and took some items,” he said.
