On several occasions the resident explained that the neighbor had shot pellet guns in the direction of his home. In one instance, a rock hit his home. No damage was done.

10:20 a.m. Police responded to a report of graffiti at Commodore Options School and Bainbridge High. Maintenance staff at Commodore told police that along with an abandoned bicycle they wanted to be booked as found property, they also wanted to report a series of graffiti markings that had cropped up on the property over the first month of school.

Staff had located seven graffiti marks that extended from Commodore to BHS. One was located on the stairway that leads from Commodore to the BHS gymnasium. It read, “existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece.” It was signed Vladimir Nabokov, a Russian novelist. Another quote was stenciled in the parking lot of the BHS pit and read, “and the rest is rust and stardust.”

Neither school could identify a suspect. Repairs were estimated at $2,000.
