Lyon County reports vandalism at several facilities

The Mark Twain ballfield restrooms were recently damaged. Metal stalls were torn down and toilets were torn from the wall, the release said. The fairgrounds in Yerington were recently vandalized with building doors kicked while chairs, lattice, gates and locks were destroyed. Libraries have seen vandalism as well. Crews are in the process of making repairs.

Lyon County will be enhancing security at all facilities as funding permits, the release said.

“Lyon County urges citizens to notify the sheriff's office of any suspected vandalism or other illegal activity witnessed on county-owned properties,” the release said. “Every case of vandalism is a cost to the taxpayer.”
