More vandalism at the gazebo
Columbia electrician Mike Niklaus repaired damage from vandalism at the Locust Street Park gazebo earlier this week. As he was working, a group of teenagers taunted him as they climbed on playground equipment in the fenced-in area. Reportedly, the vandal has been identified, thanks to surveillance cameras, and must make restitution for the damage.
OVERFLOW!
OH NO!
