Show Teens Referred On Pumpkin Prank FARMINGTON - Two teenagers have been referred to First District Court, Far-mington, Far-mington, on charges that they participated in a "prank" in which pumpkins were thrown from a pickup truck, knocking down scores of mailboxes. THIS INCIDENT reportedly occurred throughout Fruit Heights, West Layton and West Kaysville on Sunday night, Nov. 11, during which time 57 mailboxes were damaged or destroyed. Lt.

THE TWO boys arrested in connection with the vandalism van-dalism in central Davis .County are 16 and 17 years of age. Both are from Kaysville, according to Lt. Egbert. Chief Wilson said no arrests have been made in North Salt Lake, but investigation is continuing. |
