"We only did this because we felt very violated and targeted by whoever was doing it," said Greg's wife, Kim Fisher.
Greg Fisher and his 18-year-old son, Dustin, took watch at 2 a.m. Sunday and less than an hour later, a pickup truck drove past their rural home and a man with a baseball bat whacked the mailbox again.
"It was frustrating watching someone smash your property," the father said.
Dustin Fisher, who was waiting in a car in the driveway, followed the truck for more than eight miles, sometimes reaching speeds of nearly 100 mph, before he got a partial license plate number.
But it wasn't enough information to find the vehicle in state records. So Greg Fisher and his wife drove through Hatley hours later and spotted the suspects' vehicle parked at a convenience store, the family said. They parked behind it and called police, who arrested three 16-year-olds and a 19-year-old.
Lt. Randy Albert of the Marathon County Sheriff's Department said he doesn't endorse the Fisher family's actions.
"This one ended peacefully, but taking the law into your own hands can have tragic results as well," he said.
