Two Paducah men charged with vandalism after damaging several parked vehicles

Two Paducah men have been arrested for vandalism after reports of damage to parked vehicles throughout the city on Saturday.

Police said the damage primarily involved broken windows, believed to have been caused by large rocks or similar objects.

Through the use of private security footage and the Flock Safety Camera system, officers were able to identify a suspect vehicle and its registered owner, 25-year-old Tony Harper. 

An officer later found a vehicle matching the suspect description in the area of Boyd Street and conducted a traffic stop. Harper was confirmed to be the driver and officers verified the vehicle's involvement in the vandalism cases. 

Harper was arrested during the traffic stop. Further investigation led officers to a home on Homewood Avenue, where they found and arrested 21-year-old Terrion Parrish.

Both men were charged with 12 counts of Criminal Mischief and lodged in the McCracken County Jail. The investigation remains ongoing and additional charges or suspects may be identified.
