Coralville man charged after damaging car

A Coralville man has been accused of damaging a car.

Conor Kelly, 19, was charged Sunday with second-degree criminal mischief.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, officers arrived at the intersection of Davenport and Lucas Streets to find a male, reportedly unconscious, behind the wheel of a black vehicle. 

Kelly stated he did not know the owner of the vehicle. His boot prints were reportedly found on the car, where it appeared he had kicked the vehicle, causing damage. 

According to the complaint, the passenger-side window was also broken, and Kelly had cuts on his hands from broken glass. Officials found his phone outside the vehicle. 

Additional damage was reportedly found on the hood of the car and on the side mirror.

After his arrest, Kelly gave a preliminary breath test, which resulted in .164 blood-alcohol content. 

Second-degree criminal mischief is a Class-D felony.
