More charges possible, authorities say

A 19-year-old man and a juvenile have been arrested after authorities said they put racist graffiti on a Meridian High School wall. Meridian Mayor Percy Bland announced during a press conference Monday that they've arrested Jordan M. Wolfe, 19, and a 16-year-old on multiple offenses including burglary. The vandals left graffiti at the school Friday night and it was removed the next day, the Meridian Star reported. Meridian Police Chief Benny Dubose said a person spotted a man fitting Wolfe's description spraying graffiti in an underpass. Authorities said Wolfe named his accomplice and admitted to the vandalism. The juvenile is a student at the school but authorities don't know if Wolfe was a former student. Authorities said more charges may follow.
