POST FALLS - After Robert Haynes saw the damage to his wife’s vehicle, he figured the suspect or suspects in a BB gun rampage would never be caught.

“I thought that it would be hard to catch them,” the Post Falls man said of the late-night and early-morning spree that damaged 20 vehicles and three homes on the northwest side of the city more than a week ago. His wife’s 2014 Toyota 4Runner had a shattered back window and taillight. “I wasn’t looking forward to going inside to tell my wife.”

However, a 17-year-old male and 19-year-old Dylan John Siegel, both of Post Falls, were arrested over the weekend and charged with felony malicious injury to property. The Press does not publish the names of juvenile suspects.

“We estimate that the total amount of damage is more than $10,000 and it may be closer to $15,000 as the bills are coming in,” said Post Falls Police Detective Dave Beck. “Someone could have easily gotten injured.” Read more . Brian Walker, Cda Press
