Deferred disposition for teen vandal

NEWPORT — A second teen’s case has been handled in the Newport vandalism spree that took place last July.

Lucas L. Swain, 16, received a deferred disposition for a charge of second-degree malicious mischief with damages exceeding $5,000, a felony, when he appeared before District Court Judge Robin Mc-Croskey Friday, Oct. 24. If Swain complies with the conditions of the deferred disposition, he won’t have a felony conviction.
