One of the “Cape 10” has violated the contract that allowed him to avoid prosecution for the senior prank that caused thousands in damage at Cape Elizabeth High School.
The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office confirmed today that one of the pranksters violated the contract last week – just days after it was signed.
Tamara Getchell, a spokeswoman for the office, declined to name him or say exactly what charges he will face.
She did confirm, however, that District Attorney Stephanie Anderson is awaiting a report from police on a traffic incident last week involving one of the 10 students who in late March broke into Cape Elizabeth High School and removed ceiling tiles, piled desks on top of one another, wrote graffiti on white boards and smeared peanut butter on a water faucet.
“It does invalidate the contract that he signed,” Getchell said of the incident. “(Anderson) is going to charge him.”
School administrators canceled school after they discovered the prank and later suspended each student for 13 days.
Anderson considered criminal charges against the group, but decided to offer them a behavior contract in lieu of prosecution. The contract, signed the first week of June, imposes an 11 p.m. curfew, requires community service and forbids drinking alcohol.
