Nineteen-year-old Jeremy Hanson, of Clinton, was summonsed Monday night on charges of criminal mischief and violating conditions of release.

Police Chief Joseph Massey tells the Morning Sentinel that an officer questioned Hanson based on an anonymous tip. Hanson then confessed to smashing the windows of Ayla's grandmother's home with a baseball bat on Feb. 3.

However, Hanson isn't a suspect in 20-month-old Ayla's disappearance, which was reported Dec. 17 by her father Justin DiPietro.
