The church interior was left untouched. Deputies believe the boys also broke into Boron High School and stole three stopwatches from a locker room. They also set fire to duct-taped bundles of matches on a ``No Smoking'' sign and in several other areas of the campus. The trio also are believed to have smashed two roadside home mailboxes with a baseball bat. When deputies went to the home of the 14-year-old, who lives with his grandmother, to discuss why he had missed so many days of school, they said they were given permission to search his room and found stopwatches stolen from the high school. Sheriff's officials said the boy was living with his grandmother because he had gotten into trouble while living with his parents on the East Coast and spent some time in a juvenile facility there. Deputies went to the homes of the other two boys for truancy violations as well. All three were taken to a juvenile facility in Bakersfield on suspicion of arson, burglary, vandalism and committing a hate crime. The hate crime allegation was for the church graffiti. ``It appears that they were mad at someone at Boron High School but the other places vandalized were just random choices,'' Hicks said. |
