“Two Pembroke teenagers have been charged in connection with a series of playing cards that were defaced with threatening writing and left at stores in Christiansburg and Pearisburg — a gesture police said the teens admitted had been inspired by this summer’s Batman movie, ‘The Dark Knight.’ … [Police Chief] J.C. Martin would not say how they identified the suspects but said the teens admitted Tuesday during police interviews they were responsible for the cards, which they patterned after elements of ‘The Dark Knight.’ Both were charged with conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. In Christiansburg, the same pair of teens was charged Wednesday with disorderly conduct in connection with cards left inside the town’s Kmart, said police Maj. Dalton Reid.” (08/16/08)
