Cobb Police have charged two men with breaking into Kell High School and causing several thousands of dollars worth of damage in late November.

A warrant for Micah Peter Zefo, 22, of Acworth says that he and Hunter Bridges, of Marietta, broke into the school in the overnight hours of Nov. 24, and for several hours drove floor scrubbers across the hardwood floors, damaging the machines and newly refinishing flooring.

The warrant said the total of the damages came to nearly $12,000, and that the two men jumped several entrances to gain entry to the football press box and a storage building before entering the main building.

According to a Cobb Sheriff’s Office booking report, Zefo was arrested on Dec. 6 and released the same day on two felony charges of breaking into a vehicle and second-degree criminal property damage and misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass, theft by taking and loiter prowl.

Zefo posted a bond of $16,720 upon his release, the records show. There’s not an arrest report for Bridges, who has been charged with similar offenses.

Zefo’s warrant further states that the men also did damage to a roster board in the main gymnasium, entered a school bus through a roof hatch and tried to get into another bus.
