DeFuniak Springs Police arrested three men involved with damaging recently installed historic street signs in the City late Tuesday night.

The street signs were torn down by the suspects at Baldwin Avenue and S. 4th Street, and N. 4th Street at U.S. Highway 90 East. The vandalism was witnessed and called in by a citizen.

Officers responded to the scene immediately and were able to apprehend Isaac Danial Riley, white male, DOB: 11/26/1990. A second suspect, Andrew Jamisen Pate, white male, DOB: 05/04/1989, was found a short time later and arrested. The third suspect, Nicholas Jordan Wuthnow, white male, DOB: 02/02/1988, was located at a local convenience store trying to catch a ride. He was arrested and taken to the Walton County Department of Corrections.

All three suspects live in Navarre and were charged with Criminal Mischief. Pate is also being charged with damaging a mailbox at a business located in the same area as the street signs. The signs were repaired early Wednesday by City workers.

The citizen's quick call to the Police Department was crucial in bringing these vandals to justice.
