(KNZA)--Charges have been filed against three Sabetha teenagers accused of breaking into and vandalizing Sabetha High School over the Easter weekend.
According to a press release from Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert, complaints were filed Wednesday in Nemaha County District Court charging 18-year-old Marcus Andrew Jackman, 19-year-old Grant Alan Meyer and a 17-year-old male juvenile with burglary, felony criminal damage to property, theft and consumption of alcohol by a minor.
The Nemaha County Sheriff's Department in a release Thursday identified the 17-year-old juvenile as Seth Harrell.
The teens were arrested Wednesday by the Sabetha Police Department following an investigation into the April 15th break-in.
Police say markers were used to write several racist, hated-based, vulgar messages inside the school and classrooms were spray painted. In addition, a vending machine was damaged to steal candy.
Damage was estimated at $1,300.
All three teens are currently free on a $10,800 surety bond and are scheduled to make their first appearances in a Nemaha County courtroom June 6th.
