Colleyville Mother Indicted For Toilet Paper Vandalism: Her attorney said she was not there when the teenagers used permanent marker to write on the neighbor’s exterior walls, left raw chicken parts in the mailbox and wrote profane messages on the sidewalks.” But she didn’t buy the chicken, guys, just massive quantities of toilet paper!
