Morristown deadly playground prank still searching blades

Cleanup crews are still finding blades on the grounds five days after the Morristown shocking pranks ideas of a teen accused for placing blades on a school playground. Officials from Morristown Central School District and the village said maintenance crews have uncovered about five more razor blades since Monday by raking the grounds with metal detectors and magnetic sweepers.

Mr. Glover said the school will decide within the next few days whether to replace the gravel play-area surface where blades were found. Additional signs have gone up around the closed playground to help ensure children will not use the equipment before it is deemed safe.

David B. Mandigo, 19, of Morristown, was later charged by the Ogdensburg state police for being connected with the 14 year old dangerous prank attempt at about 4 p.m. Monday. He is charged for endangering the welfare of a child. Mr. Mandigo did not participate in placing the razors, but watched the incident and failed to notify police about it.

Police did not know the specific relationship between the two, and speculated the crime was a grisly attempt at stupid stuff pranks ideas. The State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Investigator Jared W. Duffy said police were tipped off by a Morristown resident who claimed to have overheard Mr. Mandigo and the 14-year-old discussing the incident.
