Del. Firefighters Charged For Using Watermelons In Vandalism Spree

BISHOPVILLE — Five Delaware firefighters were arrested on Friday after local law enforcement identified them as the suspects in a vandalism spree in northern Worcester County when they allegedly threw watermelons at mailboxes and other property from the bed of a pick-up truck.

Around 1:15 a.m. last Friday, Worcester County Sheriff’s deputies were alerted by a resident in Bishopville that several people were riding around in a dark-colored pick-up truck and smashing mailboxes. Worcester County Sheriff’s deputies and Maryland State Police converged on the area and a MSP trooper located a dark-colored pick-up truck traveling on St. Martin’s Neck Rd. near Route 90.

The trooper stopped the truck and located four individuals in the vehicle’s truck bed along with the driver. Also located in the truck bed were 29 watermelons. While one deputy assisted the MSP trooper with the suspects, another deputy began traveling the roads around Bishopville to determine the extent of the spree. The investigation revealed a total of 14 mailboxes had been damaged or destroyed, along with one Waste Management trash can and a sign for a church parsonage.

Our esteemed Delmarva firefighters at work. Guess that this is their idea of community activism. They will probably all be promoted within their department(s).Another black eye for the fire service.

Career firefighters just harass other workers, beat the hell out of innocent citizens,steal the taxpayers money, and ride around getting the flat spots out of the tires on the fire apparatus.

Now you understand why most people want professional firefighters. This is an example of what children do without adult supervision.

Anon 11:38, the one from Selbyville has already been promoted. A fine example of leadership qualities.

Go to court - pay the fine - get probation - be a bit embarrassed - and certainly fully reimburse the damages (maybe add a little extra for the inconvenience). Then all that's left for you guys is a REALLY stupid, really funny, family story that will live on for years and years. Priceless.
My family is STILL getting mileage for my cow-tipping (trespassing) arrest.
We're all allowed to be total freakin' idiots somewhere along life's paths....

Anon 2:42, the one from Selbyville & his two brothers are all officers in the local VFD. Real example of leaders there. You should listen to them on the radio some time. Non stop talk.

Actually the mail box smashing is a federal offence... Way to go Delmarva morons!!! I can't thank my lucky stars enough that I was able to get my family far away from Delmarva. You fire fighters are a total embarrassment!!!! I hope prosecution to the highest extent of the law, and your unfit to serve your community case closed.

he is a good firefighter & a damn good EMT! just because they did one stupid thing doesn't make them bad people. Have you ever done something stupid in your life? oh wait... I guess not, cuz you probably think you're an angel and think you're "perfect". well, let me tell you this, you aren't. nobody is.
