KEYSTONE HEIGHTS—Three people caught writing graffiti at Keystone Beach Park apologized to the city council on Sept. 11.
City Manager Lynn Rutkowski said the incident occurred at the beach in August.
One teenager, whom Rutkowski identified as Mr. Hunter, said he was not expecting the escapade to become “such a big deal.”
“I wasn’t thinking at the time, and I was just being dumb, and I came here to say I’m sorry for it,” he said.
Two more individuals, who identified themselves as Riley and Silas, also appeared before the council.
“I’m sorry for drawing on the tables,” said Silas. “Doing all that, it was a very stupid idea because I know y’all pay money on that, hard-earned money. “(We) came over and messed it up— a very mean thing to do. I’m sorry for doing that.”
Mayor Nina Rodenroth thanked all three boys for appearing before the council and said she hoped their public apologies would deter future vandalism at the park.
