During the investigation, Officer Cruce was able to identify several suspects. After interviewing potential suspects, Officer Cruce identified Susan Fisher, (18YOA) as the person responsible for the vandalism.  Fisher is accused of spray painting in large letters “Tattoo on this town,” “ACAB,” a large flower, and other terms and / or markings.

PennDot was contacted due to Miley Road Bridge being a state owned bridge. PennDot estimated that removal and cover-up of the graffiti would cost around $2,000.
