“They just knew a manager there and it was supposed to be a prank,” Secreet said.
But Secreet said the damage done during the prank wasn’t funny and will cost around $5,000. Police also said some employees suffering from asthma were affected by the “dry chemical substance” from the extinguisher.
Stewart and Jordheim were charged with assault, reckless endangerment and other charges. Vorbau faces a charge of false reports to police.
