New Hanover County Sheriff's Department Apprehend
Ashley High School Vandalism Suspects

New Hanover County Sheriff's Department has made three arrests in conjunction with last week's acts of vandalism at Ashley High School and Minnie Evans Arts Center. Two of the three suspects are students of Ashley and were arrested today on campus while attending their second day of school. The students are suspected in taking part of breaking 89 windows at Ashley and Minnie Evans on the evening of Sunday, August 17, 2008.

At this time, New Hanover County Schools is unable to release any additional information about the student suspects.

James McAdams, principal of Ashley, comments, "I am sorry that two Ashley students took part in this crime, but I am glad that the New Hanover County Sheriff's Department has made the arrests and are pursuing the charges against those who participated in these acts of vandalism against Ashley High School and Minnie Evans Arts Center."

The New Hanover County Sheriff's Department is continuing to investigate the incident and a possible fourth arrest could be made in the coming weeks.
