Over a thousand dollars worth of damage was allegedly done to Christian County School System property early this morning by a Hopkinsville man who was arrested and taken to the Christian County Jail.

The arrest card says 24-year old Justin Miller of Hopkinsville was doing “doughnuts” on the newly constructed Hopkinsville Middle School baseball field on Koffman Drive and that he ran into and destroyed a concrete backstop.

Miller’s alleged actions also left ruts in the field and tore up the grass. Total estimated damage was listed in excess of a thousand dollars. The crime will also undoubtedly have ill-effects on the baseball season, as practices are already well underway.

Miller was charged with 1^st degree criminal mischief and lodged in the Christian County Jail.
