SOURCE: WRPN-AM
Two 16-year-old Ripon Males have been arrested and will be referred to Fond du Lac County Juvenile authorities in connection with the Graffitti Vandalism spree that took place in Ripon. Police Chief Dave Lukoski says the vandalism happened at four different locations over the weekend. They were Ingalls Field, the Union Hall on Scott Street, Barlow Park, and Schmitt Lumber. According to incident reports filed with the police, the graffiti consisted of the words “BASE”, “FUSE”, “NWS”, and “ASK”, and a picture of a three-point crown. The reports indicate the graffiti was the same at all four locations. Lukoski says it has not been determined yet if the vandalism is gang related, but it does look the part. Lukoski says this vandalism is not related to previous vandalism in the city earlier this year. As for estimated damage, Lukoski says none of the building owners have come forward with that information yet.
