Boys damage game camera

GRAVETTE - Two children, ages 9 and 13, were apprehended last week after a game camera located on Gravette’s nature trail near Pop Allum Park was destroyed.

The children, both boys,were taken into custody by Cpl. Jeff Turner after he received a tip from a workman in the area who reported seeing the camera, valued at $600, being bashed with sticks.

Turner said after it was determined by film, which was not destroyed, the parents of the younger boyhave agreed to pay restitution for the camera. Both boys were remanded to their parents.

Damage to signs along the trail has been a continuing problem, including major damage to several signs. Turner said investigation of that damage is continuing.
