The three gates into the High Schools parking lot had been chained off by new looking chains and padlocks. There was an SUV by the gate next to the track, a truck at the entrance of the GCTC building and four vehicles near the Hollyhill back gate. All vehicles did not have license plates but were unlocked with keys in them. There were hurdles set about the main parking lot, east side of the High School. Officer Hall noticed a vehicle leave the area, which he followed to Euclid and identified the driver as Noah Mansfield. Noah was wearing a black shirt, gray shorts and sandals. Noah said he had not vandalized the High School but had just been out driving. Officer Hall advised multiple vehicles left the area when he first arrived. Superintendent Doug Fries arrived. He advised all the vehicles and tires probably belonged to the GCTC building. He said most of their cars do not run so they were probably pushed.

Pictures were taken of the area and attached to the case file. Police spoke to SRO S Conley about the incident and he will follow-up by looking at their cameras with staff to determine suspects.
