Arrest made in connection wth Lyle school vandalism
The Mower County Sheriff has arrested an 18-year-old Austin man in connection with the Oct. 1 Lyle Public School burglary and vandalism that closed the school for two days.
Sheriff Wayne Goodnature said the man was a juvenile at the time of the incident, so he is being charged through the juvenile court system. Names of suspects are kept private in the juvenile system.
The man was one of three people arrested in connection with other burglaries in the Austin area, Goodnature said. The other two men were not charged in connection with the Lyle incident, however.
Goodnature said other arrests are possible in connection with the Lyle incident. ``We're doing our best,'' he said. ``We're following up leads and stuff, so we'll see.''
