He said he had not noticed the damage earlier when he came out to walk his dog and believes it might have occurred when he was inside his residence. When asked if he knew anyone who would try to damage his vehicle or a suspect he said it could possibly be his ex-girlfriend, but did not have any evidence since there is a current TPO in place. The officer observed the Yukon had the driver-side window and rear window broken, key marks on the driver's side and an unknown brown substance, similar to melted ice cream, on his driver seat.
