MIAMISBURG — Miamisburg school officials on Monday said derogatory comments about law enforcement spray painted on the Miamisburg High School has been removed — but caused about $300 in damages.

Scott Gilbert, district business director, said police are still investigating the matter and that anyone with information is asked to contact Miamisburg police.

Police were notified around 9:47 a.m. Sunday of the graffiti on the building at 1860 Belvo Road.

Police Sgt. William Kelly said one of the spray-painted messages equated police with a swastika, while another read “Cop Killer.”

Gilbert said that up until now, the district has been fortunate.

“We really have not had much graffiti,” he said. “The good news is that it was easy to remove.”

LOL, gangs in Mbsg. Maybe if you never leave Mbsg and consider a group of kids who break the law is a gang. Take a drive down to West Dayton and you'll see what a gang is. LOL

REPORT ABUSE

To LOL- Being a young mother- I resent your remark. Being a young parent doesn't mean you're trash or any less capable of raising a child. It simply means you are young. Whoever did the damage ought to be punished and reimburse Miamisburg School District for the clean up and removal. I wonder where you are from LOL- to be so judgmental. I'm a WC graduate and I hope that someone as cynical as you does not reside near me and my family. If you don't like your community-do something about it!!!

I think when the Police find these punks, they will be like the Duck killers at Sycomopre Trails Park of the mid 90's. A few bored/stoned kids with nothing better to do. As for marking their turf,,No way. Pretend gangwannasbe. No real gangs in the Burg. People still call the Police when they see a Black person walking down the street. Gangs Plese..
