Mustang was found destroyed early Thursday. Police say an unknown vandal opened
a small vent window of the car and tossed in some fireworks.
The car was parked in the driveway of Nino Welcome’s parents, Brett and Tonia
Welcome.
Nino has Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, a rare condition that is characterized by
neurological and behavioral problems and the overproduction of uric acid. He is
confined to a wheelchair which he calls Mach II, but considers the car his
prized possession.
Springfield fire marshal Ben Basham says it’ll be difficult to prosecute
someone without more information.
