(CNN) -- The University of Mississippi announced Friday that it was trying to arrest three freshman students suspected of desecrating the campus statue of civil rights icon James Meredith.

"We believe the three folks we've identified and provided information to prosecutors about were involved" in the desecration of the statue, Lee Tyner, the general counsel for Ole Miss, told CNN in a phone interview.

The three 19-year-olds, whose identities have not been released by police, are from Georgia and are freshmen at Ole Miss, according to a prepared statement from the university chief of police, Calvin Sellers.

This week, someone placed a noose around the bronze statue and left behind a flag with the symbol of the Confederacy.

1. I'd love to hear from these young racists, and maybe their parents. Do they even understand

what Meredith went through, and what policies like Mississippi's did to generations of people? In addition to whatever the law allows, I hope someone gives them a damn good education, since someone failed along the way. A tar and feathering would be nice too, put it on youtube.
