EDMOND —
Someone drew two vulgar drawings on a wall in an Edmond athletic locker room, police said.
During the morning of Sept. 6, Edmond Police School Resource Officer Sharla Bradley was at Santa Fe High School, 1901 W. 15th St., when she was called on the school radio by a maintenance worker, according to an incident report filed by Bradley.
When Bradley arrived she spoke to the employee who said a locker room had been vandalized, police said.
Bradley entered the girls cross country locker room and immediately saw what appeared to be black paint thrown on the carpet, police said. She also observed an overturned couch and two vulgar drawings on a brick wall. Someone also had defecated in a sink.
The employee said he believed the paint and drawings could be removed. Edmond Public Schools’ spokeswoman Susan Parks-Schlepp said clean up cost less than $500.
Police said a cross country teacher left the locker room at about 4:30 p.m. Sept. 5 and the cleaning crew found the vandalism at about 7 a.m. Sept. 6. There was no suspect information. There is video surveillance in the field house, police said.marks@edmondsun.com | 341-2121,
