Teenagers' familiar prank has new risks as residents have responded with violence and, in a 2020 case, murder.
Five teenagers said to be involved in a"doorbell ditch" prank in which one of the pranksters was allegedly assaulted now face allegations of trespassing, police in Georgia said Friday.
The resident whose home was targeted was arrested Monday after allegedly hiding out with the knowledge he was wanted, police said in a statement. The suspect, William Cole, allegedly chased teens down in a vehicle and tried to strike them before getting out, grabbing one, and choking him, police alleged.Cole was arrested based on a warrant that included allegations of aggravated assault and child cruelty, police said.
Troopers put their knees on his neck and back, and then one of them kicked him on the side of his torso, Davis said. After waiting a half-hour for medical attention, the teen was hospitalized, the lawyer said. He suffered a fracture in bone structure around an eye and had pain in his jaw, he said. State troopers that day also surrounded the Delaware home of another teenager they believed was involved in the prank but who had nothing to do with it, Davis said. He's also representing that teen's family.
