Charges will be filed for cemetery vandalism spree

As many as nine youths will charged soon in connection with criminal damage to property after more than a hundred tombstones were knocked over in three local cemeteries last Saturday night. Sometime before dawn last Saturday, vandals entered cemeteries on both the north and south sides of the Village of Dorc h e s ter, and the Christ Lutheran Cemetery in the town of Holton, and tipped over about 150 grave markers. Damage estimates were unavailable this week.

Dorchester Police Chief Ricci Prein said Tuesday that he, working with Clark County Detective Albert Podevels, had received statements from seven of the suspects, either admitting involvement in the crime and/or implicating others in the vandalism. Prein said the investigation had been aided by the Colby-Abbotsford Police Dept. and the Marathon County Sheriff’s Dept., which was involved in investigating the damage at Christ Lutheran Cemetery.

Prein said the suspects ranged in age from 14 to 18 years old, and included one Dorchester resident, two from Withee, five from Abbotsford and one from Unity. He said one of those involved was a female, but said she probably would not be charged, since she was in the group but reportedly did not participate in the vandalism.

Prein said when he and Podevels got all their information together later this week, they would turn it over to the district attorney’s offices in Clark and Marathon counties.
