FAIRMONT, Minn. (AP) Police in Fairmont, Minnesota have arrested five people after an investigation into who dropped a bowling ball off a bridge onto a freeway, seriously injuring a Montana truck driver.

Fairmont Police Chief Greg Brolsma says his officers, acting on a tip from a school resource officer, conducted interviews Wednesday and arrested four juvenile males, and one 18-year-old man.

The bowling ball was dropped from a bridge above Interstate 90 on August 27th. It crashed through the windshield of a semi, seriously injuring Ted Maki of Missoula, Montana. His truck crossed the median and westbound lanes before going through a fence and coming to rest in a cornfield. Maki has since recovered.

The Martin County attorney's office is reviewing the case for possible charges.

attempted murder!
I agree with Bonnie, start at attempted murder, FOR ALL OF THEM! This is not the first time this stupidity has been done and it should be time to set some examples! These punks were old enough to know better, let them spend ten years in the Stillwater prison and see how fun they think that boredom is! No plea bargaining!

"POSSIBLE Charges"?!

I wonder what would convince the Martin County attorneys that charges are warranted?

Good Grief!

POSSIBLE Charges.
Imagine that.

I say they should start with reckless endangerment. That particular felony alone should put them away for 5 years.

But,

They're only children!

Shouldn't we allow them to grow-up (and possibly kill someone) before we go throwin' the book at 'em?
After all, they're just havin' fun, playin' a (deadly) game.

Sending them to prison won't necessarily cause them to "grow-up", but there's a good chance ol' Sancho will have them bending over in short order.
