Students Vandalize Gaston, Healy

Two Georgetown students have been charged with destruction of property and second-degree burglary for vandalizing Healy Hall in the early morning hours of May 17.

Two students entered Healy and damaged parts of Gaston Hall and the second, third and fourth floors, according to a report from the Department of Public Safety. Matthew DeBole (NHS ’07) and Daniel Tebbano (MSB ’04) were arrested Monday by the etropolitan Police Department, charged and later released.

A DPS officer reported hearing shattering glass coming from the direction of Healy at 4 a.m. Monday morning. Once he approached the building, he saw one of the students “kicking out” the fourth floor window of Gaston Hall, according to DPS Director Darryl Harrison. After yelling for the student to stop, the officer saw a second individual standing by the first one and immediately radioed for assistance. The two students were then apprehended on the side of the building.

According to the report, an inspection of Healy revealed “extensive vandalism” as a result of water damage on the second through fourth floors caused by destruction in the restrooms and damage to a water fountain. There were also broken stained-glass windows found in Gaston Hall.

DeBole and Tebbano could not be reached for comment.
