CRIME NEWS: Truck pelted with paintballs while driving through Hamilton
David Inman, 48, of Hickory Trail Place, said his son lost control of the vehicle when driving it just after 9 p.m. June 7.
The van went across the street and into the garage, according to a police report.
“The garage’s exterior wall was indented from the impact with large cracks on the interior side,” according to the police report. “Several bricks were knocked out and drywall damage was apparent inside of the garage.”
The van’s bumper was scratched with pieces of wall on it, police said, and tracks could be seen in the grass leading from Inman’s driveway to the neighbor’s garage wall.
