GAINESVILLE, Fla., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Florida police said they arrested two men who allegedly caused $12,000 in damage to one of their rental apartments to turn it into an art gallery.
Gainesville Officer Ed Wilkins said police were called to the apartment of Jonathan Marnarellis Fager, 22, and were told by the resident and his friend John Macquarrie, 25, that they used a sledge hammer and croquet balls to partially demolish the apartment as part of their plan to transform the residence into an art gallery, the Gainesville Sun reported Monday.
Wilkins said the damage to the apartment, located in the College Manor complex, included shattered windows and mirrors, pulled-out drywall and unspecified damage to the roof, balcony and a window frame. He said the men apparently performed the demolition at some point between Dec. 14 and 23.
Macquarrie and Fager were charged with felony criminal mischief and booked into the Alachua County jail.
