Bradley County detectives investigating New Year’s Day damage to the grounds at Oak Grove Elementary School have charged two men.
Sheriff Eric Watson said they received calls from a number of citizens responding to media reports asking for help identifying those caught on school surveillance video driving a van around the playground and onto the walking track and field area of the school.
As a result the investigation by property crimes detectives, Tanner Lee Ellenburg, 18, of Second Street, and Brant Austin Miolen, 18, of Lee Street, are scheduled to appear in General Sessions Court on Jan. 28, where they are each charged with vandalism under $500.
Sheriff Watson said, “I want to thank the various media organizations for getting this information out to the community and to those who took the time to call in tips about the vehicle and possible suspects.”
