Dylan Maxwell was expelled from school after being accused of vandalism.
The incident involving Dylan Maxwell took place at Hanover High School, which became the central storyline of the mockumentary series “American Vandal.” Dylan was accused of spray-painting phallic images on 27 faculty cars, an act for which he was held responsible and consequently expelled. However, the series delves into the investigation led by two fellow students, Peter Maldonado and Sam Ecklund, who document their efforts to uncover the truth in a true-crime style format. Throughout the series, they explore various leads and suspects, casting doubt on the certainty of Dylan’s guilt. The show presents a satirical look at the true crime genre while also touching on themes of social justice, the reliability of evidence, and the complexities of teenage life in the digital age. Dylan’s story is a fictional one, but it raises real questions about the justice system in schools and the impact of societal perceptions on individual lives.
