Two young Florida men were arrested for allegedly breaking into an
elementary school and stealing some Fruit Loops breakfast cereal.
Logan Brown, 18, and Christopher Ramos, 20, from Hernando County, both
face felony burglary charges. Deputies say the pair decided to "go on an
adventure" and break into the Challenger K-8 School in Spring Hill last
Thursday.
Brown and Ramos say they've exposed some serious security concerns at
the school.

"They should have kept their roof locked. That's a big security problem
there," Brown said.
Brown and Ramos explained that last Thursday, they dressed in dark
clothes and masks because they went to a nearby landfill to find Brown's
phone that he apparently lost.
Seven hours later they found the phone, and "we were kind of excited.
We were like 'yea, this is cool. We're already dressed up. Let's go somewhere,'" Brown said.
They said they went to Challenger K-8 to see what has changed since they graduated several years ago.
"Basically, we scaled a three-story wall, went in through the roof hatches and walked around," Ramos said.
The school is equipped with dozens of security cameras, which captured
their adventure down several hallways, through an auditorium and into
the cafeteria.
"The Fruit Loops were in the cafeteria," Brown said.
The men said Fruit Loops were not why they went to the school, but the
tasty snack was definitely an added bonus.
"We weren't in search of Fruit Loops. I know that's been a big thing.
Everyone's been saying we were looking for Fruit Loops. It just so
happened that there were Fruit Loops there. We got a little bit hungry,
and ate some Fruit Loops," Brown said.
The sheriff's office posted two surveillance photos of the men inside
the school holding individual boxes of Fruit Loops.
Several people were able to identify them.
The sheriff's office said Brown and Ramos were smoking marijuana, and
school officials said they found broken beer bottles on the roof.
The school plans to address their unlocked roof hatches and doors.
Both Brown and Ramos bonded out of jail about five hours after they were
booked in on Tuesday. They've since offered to replace the Fruit Loops
they are accused of stealing.
