Sheriff's Office looking for help identifying criminal mischief suspect

By Howard B. Owens

The Sheriff's Office is looking for help identifying the person captured in this video so he can be questioned in connection with alleged criminal mischief at the BOCES campus on State Street, Batavia.

On May 21, between 7:15 and 7:35 p.m., and on May 29, between 7 and 7:45 p.m., somebody entered the BOCES campus and caused considerable damage to vehicles parked behind the school.

An engine compartment on a tractor-trailer used to train truck drivers was vandalized, causing about $500 damage. The windshield and gas cap cover on an old school bus was damaged. The suspect also spray painted vulgar words on the bus and set off a fire extinguisher inside. The estimated damage to the bus is about $1,000.

So far, investigators have been unable to identify the subject in the video after circulating it through the local school system.

Investigator William Ferrando would like to interview the subject who appears in the video. Ferrando can be contact at (585) 345-3000, ext. 3573

So THAT is criminal mischief...I thought it was putting your house number on an abandoned old mailbox on the community mailbox post.

I'd check the rcords from B.O.C.E.S. Looks like someone who thought they were supposed to graduate this year.
Looking right into the camera like that...well, thats why I have the feeling that the guy didn't graduate.

How about helpful comments folks? If someone broke your wind shield or spray painted profanity on your garage, would you be making jokes?
