LEBANON, Ohio -- A judge has placed three Ohio teenagers on probation for unplugging diesel engine heaters on school buses, leading to classes being canceled.
The Mason High School students unplugged heaters for 59 buses Jan. 15. Classes were canceled for nearly 11,000 students in the district when the buses wouldn't start.
The three had been charged in Warren County Juvenile Court with a felony count of disrupting public service. That was dropped Wednesday in exchange for the teens admitting to delinquency counts of attempted vandalism and criminal trespass.
Judge Mike Powell sentenced each teen to 300 hours of community service and 60 days house arrest this summer. They also must reimburse the district $2,500 apiece.
Mason is about 20 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
