Coach allegedly led X-rated Xmas vandalism

MARIETTA, Ga., Dec. 18 (UPI) -- A Georgia middle-school coach has been charged with leading some players on a Christmas vandalism spree that included putting reindeer into sexual positions.

John Hayes is charged with trespassing, contributing to the delinquency of minors and reckless conduct, WGCL-TV in Atlanta reported.

Hayes allegedly drove members of the junior varsity football team around Marietta in a pickup truck to vandalize Christmas decorations.

"We try as hard as we can to keep our kids on the straight and narrow, and then to find out it was a parent actually doing this, it makes you wonder," said Jennifer Schuchmann.

She said Hayes had replaced items that were damaged. Police described him as uncooperative because he has refused to given them information on the juveniles who accompanied him.

Another homeowner said that he followed the pickup and confronted Hayes, who described the vandalism as "a bit of fun."
