The juveniles allegedly took a pickup truck from a tire shop without permission, and another vehicle, drove to the cemetery and did donuts around a lone grave marker in the newest part of the cemetery. According to Police Chief, Carlos Torres, they did not hit or damage any grave markers.
Cemetery caretaker, James Pelton, discovered the damage on Sunday, July 7, and tells us one of the vehicles did hit and damage a curb, otherwise, the damage was to the ground.
Once the juveniles finished damaging the cemetery, they reportedly took the vehicles back to their proper locations.
According to Santa Anna Police Chief, Carlos Torres, the investigation is ongoing and will be turned over to juvenile authorities in Abilene once the investigation is complete.
