Signal Mountain police have released the names of five people who have been arrested and charged with felony vandalism that occurred Feb. 26 at Signal Mountain Middle/ High School.

Those arrested include Lillian A. McGinnis, 19; McCallie A. Padgett, 19; John R. Wilson, 18; David C. Sitton, 19; and Richard A. Munds, 22, according to police.

Vandals drove across high school fields after about 8 inches of snow fell, leaving thousands of dollars in damage to the school’s band and high school football practice fields. Damage also was done to a fire access lane that divides the high and middle school wings, according to a Signal Mountain Police report.
