The Dalton Police Department arrested four suspects for their roles in a burglary and vandalism at Christian Heritage School.
The suspects left the high school hallways covered in fire extinguisher foam, and they also left a trail of footprints and discarded fire extinguishers for officers to follow leading to their arrest. All four suspects were charged with felony criminal trespassing.
Smoke alarms went off in the school early Monday morning after 3 a.m. Firefighters arrived on scene and found the smoke alarms were set off by fire extinguishers being set off inside the building.
Police arrived to investigate the incident. Food, basketball jerseys and sweatpants were stolen, in addition to the vandalized hallways.
Officers discovered multiple sets of footprints left in the foam leading out of a back door. The officers followed the trail of footprints, discarded fire extinguishers and areas where fire extinguishers had been sprayed to the Beechland Circle area.
A trail of footprints left in the grass led to the back of a vacant apartment unit at 1600 Underwood Street.
Police entered the vacant apartment and found four men hiding inside a closet. The four arrestees were:
- Lakwon Marquise Fleming, 20, 1801 Beechland Place
- Bryson Hunter Gallman, 20, 120 Jeanette Drive
- Kaylub Kuhn, 18, 1612 Beechland Place
- Joshua Ryan Brower, 17, 1633 Ken Drive, Rocky Face
The stolen items were recovered and returned to the school. The investigation into this incident is continuing and additional charges are possible.
