Vandalism: A 13-year-old Carnation boy was cited for malicious mischief and vandalism after he threw the wheel from a scooter, at a 2012 Volkswagen CC as it drove by the Sammamish Skate Park. The victim, a Sammamish resident, told police he saw a young man raise his arm and throw something as he passed by the skate park, and the object hit the car on the rear bumper.
