PRANK SHUTS DOWN SCHOOL BOARD BUILDING
AMITE, Louisiana — Sheriff Daniel Edwards has confirmed that three school board members are now the lead suspects in the vandalism of the Tangipahoa School System Central Office building earlier this week.
Custodians say they arrived to work Monday morning to find the building’s marble floors covered with hot, bubbling tar and “literally hundreds” of rolls of used toilet paper hanging from the Gothic-style ribbed vault ceilings.
“One of the golden toilets was removed from the Superintendent’s private chambers and cemented to the lobby floor,” Edwards added.
The Sheriff refused to release the identities of the three suspects, but comments made by Board Member Brett Duncan on his personal Twitter account may have led authorities to the vandals.
“Never seen Cohea, Al Link, and @SandraBSimmons69 look so nervous b4,” Duncan tweeted after investigators arrived at the scene on Monday.
The vandalism came just days after Federal Judge Ivan Lemelle repeatedly warned school board members not to participate in any pranks to celebrate the end of the school year.
