Police looking for teen who allegedly threw speaker off of High Street building, pulled fire alarm

Columbus police are on the lookout for an individual who caused some chaos in Downtown Columbus earlier this month.

According to a media release from Columbus Police, on March 6, an individual estimated to be between 14-20 years of age who was wearing a mounted GoPro camera gained unauthorized access to a building on the 100 block of North High Street.

The suspect accessed the building’s rooftop patio, where they proceeded to push a large speaker off the roof. The speaker landed on a patio several floors below, and while no one was injured, according to police, the item “would have caused serious physical harm” had it hit someone.
