BATH — Police arrested a 17-year-old boy Tuesday morning in connection with vandalism at the Fisher-Mitchell School.
Following up on several leads, police said they arrested the boy at 10:15 a.m. and charged him with aggravated criminal mischief and burglary.
Police responded to the 597 High St. school at 6:29 a.m. Tuesday after a school employee arrived and found the damage. Large sections of the school were affected, with many items destroyed or damaged.
Schools officials cancelled classes at Fisher-Mitchell on Tuesday while school employees and Bath investigators assessed the damage. Although the total damage was still being determined, police said it will probably amount to several thousand dollars.
The boy was processed at the Bath Police Department and was being held at the Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland until his initial appearance in court.
