DANBURY, Conn. (AP)- Danbury police say they've arrested four
Ridgefield teens after a video of six teens vandalizing a
112-year-old mansion turned up on the Internet.
Police say the teens allegedly vandalized Hearthstone Castle and
then posted the video of it on YouTube as well as a Web site
created for bored Ridgefield children.
A Danbury detective has used the video to charge three
17-year-olds and an 18-year-old with third-degree criminal mischief
and second-degree criminal trespass.
The video shows a group kicking in rotten floorboards inside the
112-year-old former residence in Tarrywile Park, which was
purchased by the city in 1985.
The video shows two teens urinating inside the castle and using
a hammer to destroy a wall.
