Macedonia -- A 13-year-old city boy was charged with unruliness June 25 after four motorists reported their vehicles were struck by a BB, leaving a dent and chipped paint, while they were driving on Twinsburg Road.
According to police reports, the incidents took place between 5 and 6 a.m. A city police officer said that while patrolling the area about 6:40 a.m., he saw the boy standing in a driveway. The boy told the officer that he had a BB gun and after the officer asked the boy's mother to come outside, the boy admitted to shooting the cars, police say.
Police said the boy was released to his mother pending notification of a Summit County Juvenile Court date.

Theft
June 25. Game systems stolen: An employee of a Macedonia Commons Boulevard store reported someone took two video game systems, totaling $298 in value, from the store.
