On the morning of October 22, 2023 LCM administration arrived at the newly renovated Battlin’ Bear Football Stadium to find it vandalized with spray paint. It was on the press box, the concession stands, and more importantly, on the new turf that had just been put down.
“It was devastating seeing it for the first time,” LCMCISD Supt. Stacey Brister said. “The community and especially the kids were so excited to have something new and in one night it was destroyed.”
Friday, April 19, the two responsible for the vandalism, Johnney Davis and Ryan Bergeron, were sentenced to five years deferred probation and restitution. Both were 18 when the crime was committed.
“We worked with the school on the guilty plea,” said prosecutor Bard Anderson. “They have the opportunity to not have this (criminal mischief charge) on their permanent record if they complete the probation. And they’ve paid restitution of $6345.92.”
