According to
Florida Today, four men and a
juvenile delinquent are facing charges after they broke into a two story Palm Bay Home and
destroyed the garage door. They also smeared paint all over the walls
and smashed the doors in a seemingly purposeless rage. The offenders include
Ryan George Turner, 20, Joseph Gaimo, 25, Jonathan Polo, 14, James Dolwick,
35, and a 14-year-old teen. The defendants have been charged with
burglary and criminal mischief.
The police believe that they inflicted several hundred dollars’ worth
of damage to the house that is located on Andrew Street in Palm Bay. The
fifth defendant in the case was Tyler Mulvaney, who has been charged with
criminal mischief because he partook in splattering paint inside the home.
He says that he was asked to join in after the men had already made their
way into the vacant house. The police discovered that the men used a back
window to get inside, and violated the command on signs that said “No
Trespassing.”
These signs were all over the building. In the backyard, the boys broke
into a shed and stole items that they believed would be of use. The men
may have committed their crime thinking that it was all in fun, but they
now face very serious charges. Many people are not aware of just how devastating
their actions can be to their future. These men will probably all be issued
criminal records and be forced to spend time in prison if they are convicted.
This will affect their ability to get a job in the future and partake
in all sorts of activities. Talk to a criminal defense lawyer in Fort
Lauderdale if you have been charged with criminal mischief, robbery, breaking
and entering, or another crime.
