An Iowa City man was arrested Tuesday after an incident last week where he allegedly threw a large brick through an RV window.

The arrest report indicates that 41-year-old Jesus Estrada of the 501 Southgate Housing First project is seen on camera August 10th just before 4pm, throwing a large concrete brick through the RV’s window, parked in the 1800 block of Waterfront Drive. Cost to repair the window exceeded $400. He then reportedly walked past HyVee and into HyVee Gas on Stephens Drive. An officer was able to identify Estrada by his clothing, facial features, and distinct walk.

Estrada reportedly admitted to being in the area at the time of the incident, but denied any involvement. A warrant was issued Tuesday for his arrest, and he was taken into custody. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted on the 4th degree Criminal Mischief charge.
