EATON RAPIDS, Mich. (WSYM) -- "I didn't react as bad as I did when I actually saw it. This is pervasive. It's not just one area. It's a number of areas. There were a number of things I think were just crude," Bill DeFrance said.

A phone call from a neighbor about smelling fresh paint around the school's track turned out to be several parts of property vandalized. Things like the track, the wall around the track, press box, and concession stands were marked. The things on them weren't exactly family friendly.

"It just makes me sick," he added.

This track is open to the public so anyone in the community can walk or run. Even though they have their school rivals name spray painted, they are seeking help from Charlotte's superintendent as well.
Mark walks the track here and is seeing it for the first time.

"Everybody can see it. It's not good for us or anyone, the people who did it, everybody in general. It's just you know you come down here and enjoy the track to exercise and you gotta look at this stuff," he said.

DeFrance said the school surveillance video reveals two males and one female walking toward the stadium. Unfortunately the video does not record the actual stadium because it's located on the back of the school. Right now, police are reviewing that video closely.
