Although Keim was raised Amish, the self-employed roofing contractor had a driver's license and had left the Amish church, Fritz said.

Amish teen gone bad,won't have the guts to do that again.

Not an amish teen gone bad. Almost none of the amish teens are part of the church until they get married. That's also why they're considered "youths" even if they're in their late twenties and not married. The behavior Keim was involved in is probably more typical than not of the "pranks" that frequently happen.

The problem is these kids are so repressed and sheltered growing up that they have no idea how to maintain control of their own behavior when they go through their "running around" time. In addition, they are extremely naive to the consequences of alcohol, drugs, and throwing tomatoes at any idiot that drives by.
