GARDNER-- A bad decision while drinking led a local teenager and a 14-year-old boy on a spree of car theft and vandalism at a used car dealership, police say.And what was this "bad decision?"
According to police reports filed with the court, Mr. Nims told police he and the boy were drinking early Saturday morning and decided to break into Chair City Auto Sales on Pearson Boulevard. They broke in, causing extensive damage to the small office building on the dealership lot, including smashing windows and attempting to set the building on fire. They then took two vehicles from the lot, and drove them onto Bickford Playground, damaging the playground and the vehicles. They then took two other vehicles from the dealership, drove them about a half mile down the road to Gardner Plaza and crashed them in the woods behind the Staples store. They were caught crossing the plaza and arrested, first for trespassing and later for charges connected with the theft of the vehicles and damage to the dealership.Yup, I'd say that would qualify as a bad decision.
