Police have identified those involved in dumping a bucket of urine and feces on an autistic teen in Bay Village, Ohio.

Authorities are not yet releasing the names, and are not discussing potential charges as the investigation is not yet complete, CNN reported.

A video of the incident emerged last week that showed a 15-year-old Bay High School student participating in what he was led to believe was the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. But instead of ice water, the suspects dumped a bucket containing feces, urine, spit and cigarette butts on top of his head.



“We are conducting a comprehensive investigation,” Bay Village Police Chief Mark Spaetzel told CNN Tuesday.

Three celebrities had offered a reward to find those responsible.

Comedian Drew Carey offered to donate a $10,000 reward to help Ohio police find the teens responsible for the vicious prank. Jenny McCarthy and husband Donnie Wahlberg also offered $10,000 each.

Police plan to turn over information to the county prosecutor’s office “for determination of appropriate charges,” according to a press release.

“It is sad and disheartening to see this type of behavior from our youth,” the department said, Newsday reported. “Those involved will be held accountable for their actions.”
