• Nearly $3,500 damage was done to two pieces of heavy equipment, according to a report filed by deputy Marshall Hicks.

Marvin Sledge of Athens was listed as the victim. His son Durand Sledge said someone shot out the windows of an excavator and damaged a skid steer while the equipment was parked at an Old Parksville Road/York Road property.
