Police seek help with vandalism

A search in Moffat County High School parking lot for tools used in recent town vandalisms did not turn the sought items up.



Craig Police did find three hunting rifles while looking into the windows of vehicles in the parking lot, which is considered public property.

Having firearms on school property is illegal, Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta said; however, he said the Police Department is likely to request the district attorney not press charges due to the youths’ clean records.

“From our point of view, (the vandalisms) had nothing to do with the guns that they found,” Vanatta said. “From a school perspective, we’ve had no problems with these kids.”

Police are asking for the public’s help in finding suspects behind 17 vandalisms that have occurred since Sunday night.

Vanatta said cars and homes have had windows damaged by what is believed to be a BB gun. The vandalisms have happened all over town, the police chief said.

Anyone with information is to call the Police Department at 826-2360.

Sunshine law forum Monday

A forum to discuss the Sunshine laws – open meetings – is from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10, in the Moffat County School District Administration building’s boardroom.

Attorneys from the city, county and the Colorado Press Association will present subject matter with a question and answer session to follow. Lunch is provided. RSVP by calling Daily Press editor Jerry Raehal at 824-7031 or e-mailing editor@craigdailypress.com.
