Battle Ground police say that three teenage boys have confessed to throwing a bottle containing some kind of liquid that foamed and burned into a couple’s yard.
The boys, ages 13, 14 and 16, said they were merely pulling a prank when they lobbed the bottle over the fence in the 100 block of Southeast 13th Street about 6:15 Friday evening.
The homeowner, Teri Heroux, told The Columbian on Saturday that she was working in the yard with her husband when she heard her dogs barking at the fence and saw someone toss the bottle, which originally contained an energy drink, into the yard.
When she went to retrieve it and place it in the garbage, she felt it getting warm and saw it was swelling, police said. A moment later the bottle burst and melted.
