A Sallisaw man was charged with malicious injury to property after allegedly vandalizing several vehicles in Sallisaw.

Quincy Haymer Jr., 19, was charged June 14 in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw with the felony count.

Sallisaw Police Detective Sandra Girdner reported that a woman was checking her sister's home in Sallisaw on March 23 when she discovered that several vehicles had been vandalized. The woman reported that mirrors had been broken off the vehicles, the vehicles' tires were flattened, and the vehicles' paint had been damaged.

On May 7 the vehicles' owner told police that she received information that Haymer and his juvenile cousin, who now resides in Minnesota, had gone to her residence along with another woman. The woman told police that Haymer and the juvenile wanted to rob the home, then saw a security sign and decided to vandalize the vehicles instead. The woman reported seeing Haymer kick off one of the mirrors on the vehicle, and when she was leaving the scene she heard him kick off another mirror. The woman reported that she wasn't involved in the vandalism, but did not report the incident.

Girdner reported that two vehicles, a 1998 Cadillac and a 2003 Mazda, received over $5,500 in damage.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
