Two Cos Cob Teens The Could Face Up To Five Years In Prison

The Quote:

"To us, the fields are our most important entity in terms of what we provide to the public," said town Parks and Recreation Director Joseph Siciliano.. "The loss is unfortunate to the two young men involved, but also for the users of both of these locations."

The Story:
Just a week after police made their first arrest in a vandalism case, another Cos Cob teenager has been charged for joyriding on town athletic fields -- an act that caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage and rendered two fields unusable for the spring sports season.

The 17-year-old boy, who was not identified because of his age, turned himself in to police Wednesday afternoon and was charged with first-degree criminal mischief and first-degree conspiracy to commit criminal mischief, police said.

Police last week arrested another 17-year-old Cos Cob boy in connection with the field vandalism. The teen faces the same felony charges......
....The 17-year-old boy charged Wednesday was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford on Wednesday.
