The Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Department arrested five suspects Sunday for felony malicious mischief at 21 Apartments.
According to a press release issued by the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office, the suspects who were arrested were 18-year-old Terrontay Cunningham of Greenville, 19-year-old Jasmine Smith of Starkville, 18-year-old Keyosha Suber of Starkville and one juvenile.
The fifth suspect, eighteen-year-old Charles Kibbee of Greenville, was charged with possession of a firearm on campus in addition to the felony malicious mischief charge.
The vandalized car had been scratched, spray painted with graffiti and shot into with a firearm.
Brett Watson, commander of the investigations unit, said the charges were made because the damages exceeded a value of $500.
“They were each charged with one count of felony malicious mischief,” Watson said. “Since the damage to the vehicle was over $500, the maximum penalty they could face is a $10,000 fine for each individual and/or five years in the penitentiary.”
Jimmy Vaughan, jail administrator, said the suspects have all been released on bond.
Kibbee’s bond was set for $10,000 and the others were set for $5,000 each, he said.
Watson said the individuals were not all arrested at the same time.
“They were arrested in various spots at various times, but a couple of them were arrested in dormitories on campus,” he said.
Watson said he is unaware of the court date at this time.
Anyone with further information on the case can call the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Department at 323-2421.
