The Dalton Police Department has arrested three teenagers and issued an arrest warrant for one other after investigating a series of 16 “tagging” vandalism incidents that occurred on January 7th, 2010. The incidents occurred in the neighborhood around Kenilworth Court in Dalton, and involved the spray-painting of vehicles, houses, or mailboxes. In four cases, mailboxes were damaged with a baseball bat.
After an investigation by the Dalton Police Department, Christopher Kinnamon, 17, of 513 Williamsburg Drive; Christopher Charles Wilson, 18, of 808 Judd Terrace; and Samuel Batts, 18, of 800 Atkinson Drive were all arrested and charged with 16 counts each of criminal trespass. An arrest warrant was also issued for Charles Thomason, 17, of 1908 Tiffany Lane with 16 counts of criminal trespass.
Investigators cited the work of School Resource Officer Brandon Carter as being critical to the quick resolution of these cases. These incidents remain under investigation and further charges are possible.
