Chillicothe PD Investigating Damage At Airport

The Chillicothe Police is looking for the public’s help in finding the person, or persons, that caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to the Chillicothe Municipal Airport.

Chillicothe Police was called to the airport at 2:20 Monday afternoon and discovered damage to the grounds near the runway from a vehicle driving on the soft ground and runway surface. They also found trash and debris left on the runway.

Police and airport staff say this vandalism is concerning due to safety concerns for arriving and departing pilots when vehicles are operating in restricted areas of the airport as well as potentially hazardous debris being on the runway.

The Chillicothe Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in solving the case. If you have any information contact Sgt. Cody Dysart at the Chillicothe Police department at (660) 646-2121.
