West and Lance Cpl. Andrew E. Carranza went on a bit of a tear, Havelock Police said, with one even proudly sporting a USMC sweatshirt during the dine-and-dash portion of the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the night didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West and Carranza reportedly went on to vandalize a HH-46E helicopter at the local Havelock Tourist &amp; Event Center. The two Marines walked around a number of aircraft on display, police said, before one of them climbed onto an RF-4B Phantom II to snap photos. The pair then tried to spin the helicopter blades on the HH-46E. Two windows on the helicopter broke in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West and Carranza later turned themselves into police and are scheduled to appear in Havelock District Court on Sept. 1, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines have been charged with injury to real property and a city ordinance violation of disorderly conduct, with additional charges potentially forthcoming. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=387998463450959&#038;set=pcb.388000890117383\" target=\"_blank\">Police assessed<\/a> the damage to be roughly $1,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWest and Carranza were released after being charged, and have returned to MCAS Cherry Point,\u201d Havelock Police Department officials wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=388613476722791&#038;set=pcb.388615000055972\" target=\"_blank\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe City of Havelock and the Havelock Police Department would like to thank our partners, Waffle House and MCAS Cherry Point officials for their assistance in bringing this to a quick resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the Waffle House locale, this particular evening was certainly not an all-star special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It wasn&#8217;t exactly an all-star special for these
