More Osbourn students charged with felonies

Six more Osbourn High School students have been charged in connection with several incidents when items were thrown onto a stretch of Prince William Parkway as a prank.

Prince William County police said Wednesday that four 17-year-old and two 16-year-old boys were charged with a total of 43 misdemeanors and felonies, nearly two weeks after three 18-year-old Osbourn students were arrested on similar charges.

Debris began to turn up on Prince William Parkway between Nokesville and Lucasville roads last year, authorities said.

A recent police investigation revealed that a group of teens was allegedly throwing items that included lawn chairs and children's toys into the road to watch cars swerve and to cause accidents.

In one incident, two vehicles crashed because of a tree limb, a tire and a boulder in the roadway that police

believe the teens are

responsible for putting there.

Two people in one of the vehicles were injured, police said, and the vehicles were heavily damaged.

The 17-year-olds, one from Warrenton and others from Manassas, are facing charges of trespassing, littering on a highway and felony destruction of property, said Officer Erika Hernandez, police spokeswoman.

The two 16-year-olds, both from Manassas, were each charged with trespassing and littering on a highway, she said.

Police said the boys, whose names were not released because they are minors, will have a hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.

The first arrests in the case were made March 21 when an officer traveling on the parkway reported debris in the roadway.

While that officer stopped to remove the debris, other officers went to the nearby neighborhood and arrested three 18-year-olds, police said.

One of those three is now facing additional charges related to the case, Hernandez said.

Michael D. Fuller, 18, of 9609 Garden St. in Manassas, was initially charged with four counts of felony destruction of property, three counts of trespassing and four counts of littering on a highway, police said.

New charges of trespassing, littering on a highway and felony destruction of property were placed against him on Monday for an incident on happened Jan. 15, Hernandez said.

Dusty Harrelson, 18, of 10373 Butternut Circle in Manassas, was charged with two counts of felony destruction, two counts of trespassing and two counts of littering on a highway; and Eric Regis, 18, of 8576 Adamson St. in Manassas, was charged with trespassing, littering on a highway and two counts of felony destruction of property following the March 21 incident, police said.

All three are scheduled to appear in court May 30.
