‘An attempt at vandalism’ ?

Two teenagers are cited for using chalk to draw a whale and sea turtles on the pavement of a parking lot.

Local police chief says it’s ‘an attempt at vandalism‘ and so the teens now face  fines that will be determined by a judge.

Let’s hope the teens are discharged with the Court’s apologies and that the chief is ordered to write a 1000 word essay on how his department can use its time more constructively.
