Man Held in Vandalism at Police Headquarters
A man allegedly angry about having his car towed went on a vandalism rampage at police headquarters early Sunday, breaking windows and glass doors and damaging three patrol cars, an official said.
The suspect caused about $15,000 in damage to the building by smashing windows and glass doors with a crowbar or sledgehammer, said San Diego Police Sgt. Tom Carmody.
He also flattened the tires and smashed the windshields of three patrol cars and is suspected of damaging about 100 civilian cars at a police impound yard, Carmody said.
Officers spotted Brian Parks, 28, driving away from the damaged headquarters area and arrested him.
