"I guess the victims thought about it and the landlord got involved with the damage," Bethlehem police Chief Mark DiLuzio said. The residents met Wednesday with a detective, and police filed charges of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct with District Judge Nancy Matos-Gonzalez's office, DiLuzio said. They will be sent to Owens via summons.

The collegian, a business major from Jacksonville, Florida, will receive a criminal summons by mail, added DiLuzio.
