Authorities have filed charges against six teens accused of rioting in a Parkersburg juvenile detention facility earlier this year.

The Wood County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against six juvenile offenders involved in a February riot at the Lorrie Yeager Jr. Juvenile Center in Parkersburg, said Lt. Michael Baylous, State Police spokesman. The incident caused more than $40,000 in damages to the facility.
