California Highway Patrol says, early last Thursday morning, the suspect went up to the north side of the Capitol and started throwing objects at windows.
On Thursday night or Friday morning, someone threw rocks through several windows of the @castatecapitol. It's disappointing. Even with the completion of the legislative offices in the Swing Space, this is still the People's House. [Photos by Eric Thomsen] pic.twitter.com/PGUtPqjn5t

Four windows were broken by the suspect, officers say. The objects that were thrown were found to have been weights, CHP says, similar to the ones that are found in weighted workout vests.
The suspect was soon identified as a man named Eric Spies. The 30-year-old suspect was arrested and has been booked into Sacramento County Jail on a felony vandalism charge.
Exactly how officers identified Spies as the suspect was not disclosed.
