A high school baseball team in West Allis is a few players short after they are cited for vandalizing cars.
According to Greenfield Police, five athletes along with about a dozen other students damaged cars by breaking windows, slashing tires, and writing obscenities on the vehicles. Some of the suspects include star athletes, and victims don't understand why they'd do something like this.
"You think they would be fine, upstanding kids if they're into sports," says victim James Jankowski. "They have other things to do than damage other people's property."
All of the students were cited for criminal damage to property and are suspended.
The athletes are missing the baseball team's regional finals. They will remain suspended until the school finishes an investigation into exactly what happened.
