PARIS, Maine — Three local juveniles are charged with damaging fencing and buildings at the Dennis Rugg Athletic Complex on Oxford Street last weekend, police said.

Paris police Lt. Michael Dailey said three boys started up a front-end loader in a nearby sandpit and drove it to the athletic field between 9 p.m. and midnight Saturday. The loader belongs to Donald Mason.

He said they used it to get into the snack shack.

“They actually used the loader to push part of the building in,” he said. They also damaged a maintenance building, a storage trailer and fencing.

The boys have been charged with aggravated criminal mischief, Dailey said.

    1. A regular hot dog, no.  But a red hot dog…well I suppose I could understand that.  It does make me wonder however…..what would these boys have done for a Klondike bar…..

      1. Evidently you either lived a sheltered life or a goody goody cause there were more then one child that did this and there is a thing called peer pressure I am sure they egged each other on or something. I was tought right and wrong yet i still did shhh it my parents didnt approve of. I still feel sorry for the parents and hope the kids get community service cleaning up fields or something.

        1. I’m not a goody goody, I go over the posted speed limit, I take 15 items through the 14 items or less line and far from sheltered. Very well aware of peer pressure but learned to resist it from my parents. Not saying I didn’t get in trouble a few times but I surely didn’t go steal a front end loader and go crash into a weenie wagon. I learned to respect other’s property and learned what was right and wrong.
