Disgruntled hockey players accused of trashing building

Thu, Feb 21st 2008 12:00 am
JAMESTOWN (AP) - Jamestown police expect to charge several minor-league hockey players who admit vandalizing a historic building after learning their league had suspended play.

Police say members of the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League's Jamestown Vikings broke windows and furniture, spilled paint and set a kitchen fire, causing an estimated $25,000 or more in damage to the former Elks lodge where they were living.

The vandalism happened early Feb. 14, a day after the league canceled the remainder of its season because of financial problems.

The team's owner and league commissioner, Andrew Haines, did not immediately return a phone message.

Detective Lt. Todd Isaacson says a handful of players are likely to face felony charges.
