Kyle Conway, 18, faces eight criminal mischief counts filed by township police last week. Conway's mom is Mayor Susan McCabe. A police spokesman confirmed information contained in reports posted by the Sandpaper and nj.com.

Johnnie Johnson, 19, was arrested on six counts of criminal mischief. Both are free while waiting for municipal court hearings.
