Good news regarding the BB Gun Criminal Mischief Incidents in the Atascocita Area. Three young adult male suspects were caught last night by our Contract Deputies when the suspects attempted another round of mayhem in the area. The cases related to these incidents are numerous (in excess of 75) and all the cases will be aggregated together and filed as a criminal episode Felony case, instead of numerous Misdemeanor cases. We are in the process of collecting damage estimates from the complainants and additional evidence. We will finalize the case and file the charges on the known suspects in the very near future.
