Elderly couple’s car vandalized

An elderly man woke up early Sunday morning and saw a person jumping on top of his car. 

Thomas R. Glick, 23, faces preliminary charges of criminal mischief and public intoxication. 

Bloomington Police Department Officer Josh Taylor was dispatched at 4:08 a.m. Sunday to the 400 block of South Washington Street on reports of a vehicle being vandalized.  
The victims, an elderly couple, called police after the man saw a person jumping on top of his black Buick, Drake said, reading from a police report.

The man had put footprints and dents on the hood and busted out the windshield and back window, Drake said. 

When police arrived, they saw a man and woman running away from the area, Drake said. Officers caught up to the man, who told police he had just left Brothers Bar & Grill. When police questioned Glick about the vehicle, he denied having anything to do with it.  
Police were able to determine the footprint on the hood of the car matched the shoe type and size of Glick’s shoe.

“He was wearing Nike Shox tennis shoes, so the print was very distinguishable,” Drake said. 

Police were also able to determine that both windows had been broken out after a brick had been thrown.
