Highland area police briefs: Sept. 8-14
Editor’s note: The following incidents were listed among the official reports of local law enforcement agencies and court clerks. Readers are reminded that an arrest or charge does not constitute a finding of guilt. Only a court of law can make that determination.
Spindler Park restrooms vandalized
The restrooms at Spindler Park in Highland are currently closed due to vandalism.
“The handle on the men’s urinal was busted. We don’t have shut-off valves on both sides, so we were forced to close both men’s and women’s,” said Highland Parks and Recreation Director Mark Rosen. “There was just water everywhere. We’ll probably put in shut-offs when the repairs are made.”
The restrooms will be closed until repairs are completed.
The 12-acres park is at 1221 Spindler Park Road, behind the Highland School District Administration Building. Features of the park include walking trail, lighted tennis courts, a pavilion, ball field, playground and soccer field.
