Hamilton County sheriff’s deputies have arrested three people they believe vandalized a covered bridge last week.
Video footage from May 25 shows two men, a woman, and a younger person spray-painting the inside wooden wall and decking of Potter’s Bridge at Potter’s Bridge Park near Noblesville, the Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.
Potter’s Bridge was built in 1871 and was restored in 1999. It’s the only covered bridge remaining in its original location in Hamilton County. Today, it primarily serves pedestrians along a White River trail.

The sheriff’s office tweeted Wednesday and asked for help to identify the four suspects. Later that day, the sheriff’s office said the suspects had been identified and that three of them now face preliminary charges of criminal mischief.
The suspects have been identified as Brandon Damron, 19, Sheridan; Tyler Delay, 25, Noblesville; and Nichole Monroe, 21, Noblesville. The sheriff’s office did not immediately reply to a request for the suspects’ jail book-in photos.
A charge is merely an accusation, the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
