The Perry Police Department has corrected some of the facts originally released about the three Perry juveniles arrested Friday evening on harassment charges.
Perry Police Department Chief Eric Vaughn said the name and age of one of the suspects “was incorrectly stated on the original call for service that was released to the media.” He said the department “apologizes for this mistake.”
ThePerryNews.com did not publish the erroneous information but double checked with the police department and published the accurate information.
Vaughn also corrected details originally released about the ages of the suspects and the charges filed.
Two of the juveniles are 14 years old and one is 15 years old.
All three suspects were charges with four counts of first-degree harassment.
In addition, the 15-year-old and one of the 14-year-olds were each charged with one count of interference with officials acts.
All three boys were referred to juvenile court, Vaughn said.
The Perry Police Chief also released new information about the victims in the case. He said said the juveniles allegeldy “threatened to commit a forcible felony with a firearm against one adult and three juveniles.”
