Surveillance cameras showed the four suspects and three additional unidentified suspects spraying something on the walls in the 200 hallway and turning over tables in the cafeteria, according to the sheriff’s office.

The school custodian told deputies the suspects sprayed silly string, toothpaste, and shaving cream in the halls and rolled trees in front of the school with toilet paper.

The two 18-year-olds were taken to the Washington County Detention Center and released on their own recognizance. The two juveniles were served with juvenile petitions for burglary.

The sheriff’s office plans to charge the three additional suspects once they are identified.
