SAN DIEGO -- A Superior Court judge sentenced three teens to a year in jail after they were convicted of causing as much as $500,000 in damage by shooting out windows with BB guns.

 

Prosecutor Michael MacNeil said the teens -- Phillip Murphy, 18, Michael Anthony Ching, 18, and Joshua Thomas Levitt, 19 -- drove around La Mesa neighborhoods in the middle of the night almost every night from January to July shooting out windows of cars, trucks and businesses, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

 

The three were sentenced Monday at El Cajon Municipal Court.

 

The teens, all from La Mesa, admitted in a July plea agreement to committing two shootings, according to the newspaper.

 

Judge Allen J. Preckel said he sentenced the trio to a year in jail, despite protests from relatives and friends, to serve as a warning to others, the Union-Tribune reported.

 

The teens were also ordered to repay $7,331.82 to two victims, serve three years of probation with a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and perform 200 hours of volunteer work each. They were also barred from owning BB guns.
