Suspects in Winston Academy Vandalism Identified

Quick action by local law enforcement resulted in arrests this afternoon of two local young men in Saturday's early morning vandalism at Winston Academy. Vernon Brown (20 yrs old) and Hunter Glass (18 yrs old) are currently in custody at the Winston County Correctional Facility. Winston County Sheriff Jason Pugh indicates that both men have cooperated in the investigation and are believed to be the only two involved in the incident. They will be held until formal charges are filed on Tuesday.

Sometime during the late evening and/or early morning hours on Friday/Saturday, individuals entered the campus and did significant damage throughout the school property. Offices, classrooms, cafeteria, gym and even the pressbox and school bus were damaged. Windows were broken, doors were damaged and office equipment and plumbing fixtures were damaged and destroyed.
