WATERVILLE — Two windows were smashed out late Friday night at the home of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds, police said in a news release Saturday morning.
No one was injured and police said they did not find any rocks or objects, "leading officers to believe that the windows were broken by a bat or another object that was taken away."
"These types of calls are actually quite serious," said Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey. "There is a chance that someone could be injured by flying glass. It scares people. And, it could escalate into a confrontation between the occupants of a home and the suspect."
Phoebe DiPietro called 911 about 11:13 p.m. Friday, saying someone was throwing things through windows. Three Waterville officers responded within a few minutes, police said.
The Kennebec County Sheriff's Office responded as well with a dog-tracking unit and followed a track that ended on Purington Street, which is a small side street near the home.
Police said whoever is responsible for the incident faces a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief and other potential charges.
of course phoebe the liar can't remember if she was home or not or whether she did it herself.
