The Knox County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Crimes Unit is seeking information regarding a felony vandalism that resulted in several thousand dollars in damage to the campus of Farragut High School.
On Sept. 30, 2025, between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and midnight, six unknown white male suspects entered onto the campus and spray-painted multiple facilities, signs, and roadways surrounding the football complex.
The suspects, all wearing masks that covered their faces, entered the campus on foot from West End Avenue and walked to the area where the vandalism occurred.
The suspects then left campus by climbing the fence along Lendon Welch Way and running back towards West End Avenue. Detectives believe the suspects parked a vehicle at a business on West End Avenue and entered campus on foot to avoid the vehicle being captured on school security footage.
This vandalism occurred three days prior to the Hardin Valley Academy versus Farragut football game, and the initials HVA were spray-painted in numerous locations around the campus.
