A local man has been accused of causing havoc for a woman, including sticking a Snickers candy bar in her car’s gas tank.

Kenneth Everett, 29, was charged Sept. 26 and 30 with fourth-degree criminal mischief.

According to a Coralville police complaint, on Sept. 26, Everett allegedly went to the woman’s home, ripped apart a screen from a window, and threw a glass mug at the back of the woman’s vehicle, causing damage.

An additional Coralville police complaint on Sept. 30 noted that officers were called to the Coralville Marriott, 300 E. Ninth St., to meet with the woman, who said she had received a phone call during work from Everett.

During the phone call, Everett asked her “how her truck was running” and advised her that he had put sugar in the gas tank.

The woman had found a Snickers bar in her gas tank one month previously and said she believed he was guilty for both occurrences.

Fourth-degree criminal mischief is an aggravated misdemeanor.
