Sheriff deputies found the buggy and another motorist identified it as the group he saw. Police say the four men initially gave them fake ages and refused to provide their names.

Investigators later identified them as 20-year-old Levei J. Mast, 19-year-old Andrew B. Zook, 20-year-old Joseph S. Miller and 19-year-old Joseph J. Troyer.
