Just a few minutes after midnight Tuesday, police responded to a Dover Township home on the 2900 block of Village Square Drive after the homeowner said something was shot into the home.
Officers found that suspects had fired a potato into the home from an unknown weapon. The potato entered the front of the home, going through an outside wall and an inside wall.
The potato entered a room occupied by the residents and their two-month-old child. Luckily, no one was injured.
While officers were on the scene a second call came in from the 3000 block of Hadley Drive. In this case, the suspects fired a potato into the rear of a minivan, which sustained minor damage.
Officers went to a local grocery store and found that two suspects had bought two 5-pound bags of potatoes between 1030 p.m. and 1100 p.m.
Police were able to use surveillance photos to identify one of the suspects, and the other was identified by a witness. The photos also showed that the suspect vehicle was a blue Dodge Durango.
Police continued to pursue the case and took Cody Cosgrove, 19 of Dover Township, Dakota Falkenroth, 18 of West Manchester Township and John Whitecomb, 18 of Conewago Township into custody.
Those three suspects were taken to Central Booking, where each was charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, reckless endangerment, simple assault and criminal mischief.
Police are still investigating this incident and plan to arrest another spud shooter.
