The Hillsboro Police Department said that on Wednesday a police officer obtained information about the Sept. 26, 2020 incident when two subjects allegedly poured dish soap in the fountain causing it to overflow with bubbles.
The incident required city maintenance crews to clean and drain the fountain the following day.
