The Republic:

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio made the announcement at a community meeting Wednesday.

Alex Castellanos, 18, along with two juveniles ages 17 and 15 were charged with criminal damage, officials said.

The three students admitted to vandalizing seven vehicles, Arpaio said.

The story still doesn’t make clear how many incident actually occurred in Fountain Hills. It ends with this curious passage:

Parents of the three students will also be cited through a town ordinance, Arpaio said. The sheriff, who offered a $5,000 reward to find the vandals, said the students didn’t have a racial motivation.

The kids allegedly wrote KKK on a black family’s car. Even in today’s post-factual society, this seems like a stretch.
