A teen from Brookville has been charged with damage to property after he allegedly used spray paint to leave profane words on the sidewalks, doors, and windows at Ell-Saline High School late Saturday night.

Sheriff’s Office Captain Roger Soldan said a deputy discovered the vandalism about 10:40 p.m. Saturday night.

During an investigation Sunday, witnesses said they saw a person on a red four wheeler leave the area of the school at about 10:30 p.m. That led to the suspect.

Investigators arrested 18-year-old Austin Sommerfeld on a requested charge of damage to property.

Damage from the graffiti has been estimated at $950.
