A Jonesboro skateboard park that was
built by volunteers was destroyed in about five minutes, allegedly by a nearby business owner who was frustrated with the conduct of some of the park`s patrons. 30 year old Chris Baugh is charged with second degree
criminal mischief for allegedly attacking the park Tuesday with a
small bulldozer. Ramps and rails at the park were torn up. The park was built by volunteers who used donations to buy
materials. Baugh owns property across the street from the park and police
say he was frustrated by the behavior of some skateboarders. Baugh, who is free on 5 thousand dollars bond, serves on the city`s parking committee, and is a board member on the Downtown Jonesboro Association. Baugh is set for a September 24th court appearance.
