Police say when officers arrived on the scene, the suspect fled in a vehicle. Officers called off the pursuit for safety reasons.

Investigators continued efforts to identify the individual, and the suspect was arrested Tuesday afternoon outside an apartment building.

Police say charges of mischief over $5,000 will be submitted to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions.
