Charges Possible After Selfie-Loving Skateboarder Damages Police Car

KALAMAZOO (WWJ/AP) - Authorities say a man who damaged a parked police cruiser while taking selfies on the unoccupied vehicle is remorseful but still could face charges.

Police say the 21-year-old from Kalamazoo contacted them Friday after investigators released an image of him from the dashcam video. The man reported told police he didn't intend to damage the car. Police say he is being "extremely cooperative."

The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety earlier said the man approached the police cruiser around 3:40 a.m. on Aug. 9 in downtown and took photos in front of the vehicle, kneeling on the hood and lying on the windshield. Police say he then climbed onto the roof of the cruiser before leaving the scene on a skateboard.

An officer returned to the car and found the damage. The suspect's actions were recorded by the vehicle's dash camera.

The man could be facing felony charges for damaging police property.
