Thousands of dollars in damage caused by Jeep at North Union Township post office, ballfield

NORTH UNION TOWNSHIP, Pa. — An investigation is underway after a vehicle tore up the ground at locations in North Union Township.

The North Union Township supervisor says a Jeep tore up the grass outside of the post office on Friday.

Overnight, they returned and damaged the Mount Braddock Ballfield.

The Jeep got stuck in the mud while driving at the baseball field.

The supervisor says he wants to see the driver face vandalism charges.

“Hopefully was can prosecute them to the fullest. There’s no joy out of doing what they did. I can’t imagine how you could get a thrill out of tearing up a public place like this,” said supervisor Curtis Matthews.

Matthews says the damage caused by the driver will cost thousands of dollars to fix.
