    Six juveniles are expected to be charged soon with harassment, trespassing and criminal damage to property following a vandalism incident that began at a home and Ringle and ended at Wal-Mart in Rib Mountain.

    The Marathon County Sheriff's Department tells NewsChannel 7 the kids vandalized the home late Sunday night and provoked the homeowner. A chase then began, according to authorities, prompting one of the juveniles to throw several items at the man's vehicle before producing a BB gun and threatening him with it.

    The chase continued into the Wal-Mart store at approximately 12:30 a.m. Monday, causing employees to call the sheriff's department. All six juveniles were found, one of whom was arrested. The gun was found behind the store.

    Authorities say the person who threw the items from the vehicle and showed the BB gun will also likely be charged with reckless endangerment and throwing missiles from a moving vehicle.

    According to the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, one of the juveniles, who is 17, had already been spoken to by law enforcement for doing a similar act to this family.

    He should have broken the kids arm, then his neck. Its like this morning, I was out walking and 2 kids on pedal bikes and a girl, she was walking, when I went to cross the street the kid just drove right in front of me and cut me off while walking then pulled on the sidewalk on just stopped with a stupid grin on his face. I just kept walking. I hope he gets his shoelace caught in the spokes and smacks his head on the sidewalk next time. Little brat!!
