A nineteen year old, Belpre resident, has been arrested, accused of damaging Christmas lights and mailboxes throughout the city of Belpre, over the holidays.

Kenneth Cobb Jr. was arrested for Complicity.

Belpre Police officials say Cobb participated in the damaging of Christmas lights and mailboxes throughout Belpre.

Just last week, a video was discovered on YouTube, showing the suspects breaking Christmas lights on residential homes.

Last Friday, officials said they were also investigating two juvenile suspects.

Cobb is scheduled to appear at the Belpre Mayor's Court, on Tuesday.

I know Ken and I was just shocked to hear what he had done, I grew up with him and i know the kind of person he is, but sometimes kids make incredibly stupid descisions. This is one of those times, while he needs to pay for his crimes, I hope and pray he learned his lssion and got all of the stupidity out of his system.

If he was nineteen shold he not also be charged with contributing to the delinquency of minors? Destruction of mail boxes is a federal felony and he is legally old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.
