Fans of SpongeBob SquarePants caught painting West Richland school

Three young artists and fans of SpongeBob SquarePants picked the wrong mediums to create their “art.”

West Richland police were on patrol at Enterprise Middle School on Wednesday morning and found three male juveniles spray painting on the buildings and outdoor tables, said Sgt. Drew Hendrickson.

A pair of 14 year olds and a 12-year-old boy were painting characters from the cartoon show SpongeBob SquarePants.

The juveniles are going to be charged with malicious mischief and were released to their parents.

Hendrickson said the damage was minimal and school officials believed it could be cleaned up.
