Summary
- Two men arrested for vandalism and other felony charges.
- Suspects were hired by the shopping centers to repair damage.
- Charges include vandalism, burglary, arson, and weapon use.
Two individuals, Dashon Kilbourne and Karl Snider, have been arrested and charged with multiple felonies including criminal mischief, burglary, arson, and wanton endangerment. The alleged crimes occurred in early June at the Iroquois Manor and Dixie Manor Shopping Centers. Authorities report that Kilbourne and Snider broke windows and spray-painted the centers, causing an estimated $20,000 in damage at Iroquois Manor and $6,000 at Dixie Manor.
Compounding the alleged offenses, police state that the suspects were subsequently hired by the shopping centers' facilities manager to conduct the necessary repairs. Security footage reportedly captured the men during a May 14 break-in at Dixie Manor, where they are accused of starting a fire, causing $500 in damage. Kilbourne also faces accusations of firing a weapon and driving a stolen SUV into one of the centers.
Both defendants are also accused of starting multiple fires in the mechanical room of Iroquois Manor, and throwing Molotov cocktails onto its roof. They are currently held on bonds of $100,000 and $50,000 respectively and are scheduled to appear in court on July 7.
