Cheyenne Man Arrested for Smashing Car with Sledgehammer

A Cheyenne man is behind bars after police say he smashed a car sitting in front of his neighbor's house with a sledgehammer.

Officer Kevin Malatesta with the Cheyenne Police Department says officers were called to the 300 block of Bocage Drive around 7 p.m. Sunday night.

"There was a report of a vandalized vehicle at that location," said Malatesta. "It appears that vandalism was caused with a sledgehammer and alcohol may have been a factor."

74-year-old Kenneth Brooker was arrested for felony destruction of property.  He is scheduled to make his initial appearance in Laramie County Circuit Court tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9:45 a.m.
