An Iowa City woman has been charged after allegedly being involved with a vehicle vandalism.
Police say the incident occurred on the 3500 block of Shamrock Drive the afternoon of July 2nd. 29-year-old Angelina Ortega was reportedly seen on surveillance video, assisting her friend who poured sugar into a gas tank and slashed the tires. An investigation determined that the knife and sugar used in the alleged crime came from Ortega’s apartment.
A warrant was issued for Ortega’s arrest, and she was taken into custody Thursday morning. She’s been charged with second degree Criminal Mischief, a Class D Felony punishable by a prison term of up to five years if convicted.
