A local man was accused of throwing ceramic Halloween decorations at a vehicle.

Damien Gilchrist, 19, 452 W. Benton St., was charged October 13 with second-degree criminal mischief.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Gilchrist broke out the rear driver’s side window, dented the rear driver’s side door, and dented the window frame.

When officers arrived on scene, the victim explained her ex-boyfriend was Gilchrist. When the victim broke up with Gilchrist, he got upset and allegedly threw the decorations at her car. Gilchrist then proceeded to run down the street.
