(KAIR)--An Atchison teen is facing charges in the criminal damage of five vehicles.

According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 18-year-old Malachi Baumgartner has been issued a notice to appear in Municipal Court on misdemeanor criminal damage to property charges.

Wilson said the five vehicles were parked in the 300 block of Laramie, 1000 block of Laramie and 700 block of Atchison when they were damaged during the early morning hours of August 31.

He said four of the vehicles had exterior mirrors damaged and the fifth vehicle had a side window broken out. The damage estimate on each vehicle was $250.

Wilson said an investigation led officers to a vehicle that had been occupied by four individuals that early morning and while driving around one of the occupants, identified as Baumgartner, reached out of the vehicle and struck the parked vehicles with a baton, damaging the mirrors and the window.
