The Gallatin Police Department is looking into a series of pranks that have recently occurred around town. Multiple reports have come in from residents about property damage that appears tied to Junior/Senior Wars at local high schools. Although these events may seem like harmless fun among students, officials are treating the incidents seriously.

Gallatin Police emphasized to the public that vandalism constitutes a crime. The department noted that the Sumner County Board of Education does not consider Junior/Senior Wars to be officially sanctioned by any high school. As a result, what some might view as tradition may carry legal consequences.

Authorities said the investigations will be comprehensive and that criminal charges could result depending on what is uncovered. Police are urging parents to discuss the possible outcomes of such behavior with their children. They want young people to understand that actions taken in the name of school rivalry may lead to serious repercussions.

The city is asking for cooperation from the community. If anyone has witnessed or been affected by these pranks they are encouraged to report them. Gallatin Police say that only through full communication will it be possible to address the issue before it escalates further.
