Berlin spray paint suspects face trial Friday

Nearly six months after a nighttime spray painting spree shocked Berlin residents, two suspects will go to trial in Worcester County District Court on Friday morning on 40 vandalism-related charges that resulted in $11,276 in damages.

The defendants, Nick Bonser, 18, of Berlin, and Jordan Denton, 18, of Ocean City, face 39 charges of malicious destruction of property and one count of theft less than $100. The theft charge is believed to be in conjunction with the spray paint itself, taken from a nearby Wal-Mart shortly before the incident occurred on the evening of Jan. 25.

According to the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s office, an unnamed juvenile suspect entered into a plea bargain and submitted a plea of “involved” to all 40 charges.

The state’s attorney may only discuss outcomes when dealing with juvenile cases, so sentencing recommendations and details are unavailable.

  1. Make an example of these idiots. I suggest highly visible community service for 52 consecutive weekend afternoons, along with a year-long 8PM curfew every single night of the year.

  3. Would suggest that part of their punishment would be to have them scrub off graffiti for 1 entire year and make them supply their own cleaning agents.

  4. I certainly hope the "plea bargain" included 100% restitution to the people whose property was vandalized. All of them.
