Charges filed in Bleach attack.
Four high schoolers accused of tossing a bleach-filled balloon that hit a 14-year-old Gwinnett County boy in the face, seriously injuring him, told police they were only trying to ruin his clothes.
Lilburn police on Wednesday said the four Meadowcreek High students were responsible for the attack last week on Miguel Mesa, a student at Lilburn Middle School.
One was arrested and taken to a youth detention center, while the other three were expected to be in custody Wednesday night, police said.
Charges were pending against the four. Three are juveniles and one is an adult, but the adult’s name was not released.
Tips from the community led police to the suspects who threw the balloon from a van, said Lilburn Police Capt. Bruce Hedley.
“We’ve recovered the bleach bottle and balloons used,” Hedley told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
