A total of five juveniles from Oakland were cited into Juvenile court last week, following an investigation into an accident that took place Nov. 21st. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says the teens, all of whom are male, included two 13-year old’s and three 16-year old’s. They were cited in connection with acts of vandalism and trespassing that took place in early October at the Oakland Golf and Country Club.

Three juveniles were charged with Criminal Mischief in the 4th degree and Theft in the 5th degree, along with Trespassing after business hours at the course. Two other teens were charged with Trespass. Officials say $500 damage was done to hole #3 on the property. The hole was damaged by the responsible parties taking flags from the course and poking 50 holes in the turf on two separate occasions.

The information came forward from the teens after Deputies were dispatched to 316 S. Gates Street for a property damage accident, and flags from the Oakland Golf and Country Club were located in the vehicle. The names of the teens were not released because of their age.
