Hopkinsville Police arrested a man last night accused of breaking into vehicles.

The arrest card for 25-year old David Jack Arwine of Hopkinsville says he was seen by police throwing a brick at the window of a vehicle around 10:30 at the intersection of E. 10^th and Liberty Streets.

Officers reportedly told Arwine to stop, but he allegedly ran across several busy downtown streets in an attempt to get away, before being caught and arrested at 5^th and Liberty. Police say Arwine did over $1,000 worth of damage to the vehicle with the brick and that he reportedly admitted to breaking into cars after his arrest.

Arwine was charged with criminal mischief, fleeing from police and possession of marijuana after jail staff reportedly found the illegal weed on his person.
