Stafford authorities say a man told then he placed his car key into the doors of several parked cars on Elkton Drive and became angry when the doors didn’t open.
The Stafford sheriff’s office was sent to the street in England Run near the Central Rappahannock Regional Library on Sunday, December 13 at 5:30 a.m. after reports of a suspicious man trying to break into cars on the street were called into 911.
The deputy arrived on the scene and found an intoxicated man, according to Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy. The deputy found several cars parked in the street had also been damage, to include a Honda that had its door and quarter panel kicked, and a green Ford that had its license plate ripped off and a mirror bent, said Kennedy.
The man told authorities he had been looking for his car, said Kennedy.
The deputy asked the man which car was his, and he responded by saying his car was the silver Chevrolet he was standing next to, said Kennedy. Later, the man told the deputy his car was a silver Cadillac, said Kennedy.
The man later told the deputy he became angry when he tried his set of car keys in the cars parked on Elkton Drive and they didn’t work, said Kennedy.
Gary Tieri, 26, of Spotsylvania County, is charged in the case. He was taken to Rappahannock Regional Jail.
