MCSO: BB gun shooting spree suspects told detectives they were bored

Four Weirsdale adults have been arrested by Marion County Sheriff’s Office detectives in connection with a spree of BB gun shootings.

The four suspects are accused of shooting and damaging 55 vehicles and a window at a U.S. Post Office. Early estimates put the damage at more than $22,000.

Those arrested are:

• 20-year-old Austin Terrence Fagan

• 18-year-old Shane Allan Partain

• 22-year-old Kameron Colby Cole

• 18-year-old Kaitlin Alexis Prusansky

A tip came in Tuesday. Detectives tracked down the suspects Wednesday. Detectives interviewed each suspect who confessed to the crimes. Plus, the suspects admitted the reason for their crime spree: “they were bored.” Also, detectives were able to collect four BB guns.

While being held at a Marion County Sheriff’s Office District Office, the suspects were interviewed by several other law enforcement agencies from nearby counties and cities.

Detectives say the four suspects, each, could soon face more than 100 criminal charges.
