Man charged after blowing up porta potty at Central NY beach, police say
The man recorded the portable restroom exploding on the social media platform Snapchat, police said.
A 20-year-old man used an explosive device to blow up a porta potty at a Cicero beach earlier this year, police said.
Officers found the exploded portable restroom around 5:20 a.m. on May 19 at Williams Beach, according to a Wednesday news release from Steve Rotunno, the Cicero police chief. Debris was scattered more than 40 feet away, police said in court papers.
The man, Angelo M. Antonello, of Liverpool, was charged Tuesday with first-degree criminal mischief. He was arraigned the same day and released on his own recognizance, according to Thomas Newton, a spokesperson for the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office.
Antonello drove to the beach with another person who police have yet to identify, police said in court papers. The duo recorded themselves blowing up the porta potty on the social media platform Snapchat, police said.
Officers were not able to identify the explosive device because it was destroyed in the explosion, Rotunno said.
