Car damaged at Downriggers

The man’s girlfriend said she believed her ex-boyfriend may have been responsible for the damage.

According to the girlfriend, her ex entered the bar and called her a “whore.” The woman said she has received numerous text messages from her ex-boyfriend about their relationship. The woman said she ended the relationship after it became violent.

The woman claimed a friend of hers said that the ex-boyfriend was outside slashing the tires on the woman’s vehicle. The woman said she and her current boyfriend have identical vehicles and that her ex may have confused the two cars.

The officer determined that the tires had been damaged by some sort of knife.

The incident remains under investigation.
