Iowa City Police have arrested a man they say intentionally vandalized a neighbor’s residence twice.
66-year-old Keith Yenter of Oakland Avenue was booked into the Johnson County Jail at 2:00 Friday afternoon. Arrest records indicate that just after 1:00 last Halloween morning Yenter used a hose to spray a security camera belonging to his next-door neighbor as well as spray into a window, flooding the kitchen. Damage was estimated at $5,470.
Just after 6:00 on the night of February 25th Yenter allegedly again sprayed the security camera with a hose. The temperatures that day ranged from -7F to 14F, causing the camera to freeze.
The other homeowner has since requested a no-contact order.
Yenter is charged with 2nd Degree Criminal Mischief and 5th Degree Criminal Mischief. If convicted on both counts, he faces a maximum of over five years in prison.
