CHAMPION TWP. – Five suspects are charged in connection with a recent case of vandalism at a Champion Township golf course.<\/p>\n

Champion Township Police Chief Larry Skaggs tells 21 News that five suspects are currently charged: Joshua Meese (18), Colton Sharpe (18), Colton Alford (18), Camren Corrigan (19) and Brady Bell (18).<\/p>\n

Court records show all five are charged with one fourth-degree felony count of vandalism. All have been arrested following Sharpe\u2019s arrest on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

A warrant has been issued for Sharpe\u2019s arrest, according to court records.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Skaggs says charges are pending against two juvenile suspects. Those charges are expected to be filed in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from vandalism at the Cranberry Hills Golf Course in July, in which eight golf carts and the fourth hole green were damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n

Golf course owner Steve Welch told 21 News the damage is estimated to be around $40,000.<\/p>\n

Welch said four golf carts were damaged beyond repair and hole four will be unplayable for about a year.<\/p>\n

Meese, Alford, Corrigan and Bell are all due back in court on September 3. Meanwhile, Sharpe is set to be arraigned on Friday, August 28.<\/p>\n
