(Atlantic, Iowa) – After the Atlantic Police Department took to social media Tuesday afternoon in response to an incident that took place over the past weekend, the person allegedly responsible for the damage at the Little League sports complex reached out to the police department and took responsibility for their actions. Police later noted that they “We will be working with them and the Little League board to resolve the issue.”
The Atlantic Little League complex was damaged on Saturday evening. Police said in their initial post, that “Although a poor choice was being made to “spin cookies” in the parking lot, we do believe that damaging the fence was an accident. “We understand that accidents happen,” Police say, “and we are asking the person responsible to come forward.” Authorities said they had “some video of the vehicle,” and were “working to have it enhanced for better identification.”
