2 people accused of stealing Parkland memorial items

Deputies: Pair was on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High property

Teddy bears, pinwheels, plaques found in car, deputies say



Michael Shawn Kennedy, 37 of Hollywood, Florida and Kara O'Neil, 40, of Fulton, N.Y. are facing charges of suspicion of removing or disfiguring a tomb or a monument.

Witnesses told deputies that the two were seen on school grounds, taking items off fencing and removing things from a designated memorial honoring for Parkland victims.

According to a Broward County Sheriff's arrest affidavit, teddy bears, pinwheels and plaques were found in the back seat of the pair's vehicle.

Kennedy appeared in court Monday, telling a judge that the memorials weren't tombs or monuments, according to the Associated Press. The judge disagreed and ordered a $1,000 bond.
