A teen faces jail time after bragging on his Facebook page about flooding a U.K. town’s central library and causing $250,000 worth of damage to a local library.
The 16-year-old went to Portsmouth’s Guildhall Square library last August and decided to stop up all of the men’s toilets on the third floor with toilet paper, then flushed and in addition, turned on the tap water.
The water from the bowls and sinks overflowed and kept going from 7:28 pm on August 18 straight through until the very next day, according to Portsmouth News.
At first the 16-year-old denied having any part in the wrongdoing but he and another young boy were caught on the library’s close circuit cameras.
