Two weeks later, the police have finally caught the criminals that were involved in the vandalism of 12 cars at Orchard Trails Apartments. Mario Villani, 22 -years-old, Raymond Vallee, 22 -years -old and Jonathan Merrill, 23 -years-old confessed to the vehicle damages and have been charged with criminal mischief. This is a Class D crime. Merrill was charged with aggravated criminal mischief, a Class C felony. He is also being charged with falsifying physical evidence.
According tothe Maine Campus, police said all three were intoxicated during this crime and Sargaent Wilcox said the estimated amount of damage costs is well over $2,000. Also bicycles missing from this incident may be additional charges to the three young men.
Shayna Cavalieri says she is really careful now with locking her bicycle; however she feels that no matter how hard people try to keep thier bikes, cars and other valuable items locked up, vandalists will find some way to destroy them.
Merrill is a resident of Orchard Trails, Vallee is a Univeristy of Maine student, and Villani was a friend visiting from Portland. Villani and Vallee will be appearing in court November 30th, and Merrill appears in January for the Class C charges. IF he is convicted of aggravated criminal mischief, he could face up to fiver years in prison.
