One Pike County man is now facing a potential five-year prison sentence after he was accused of vandalism at a local car dealership.

 

42-year-old Jacob Thacker, of Pikeville, has been charged with first-degree criminal mischief. According to police, Thacker is said to have gone to the Walters GM Auto Mall on Saturday night, just before midnight. While there, he allegedly used a black metal bar to break out the rear windows of four SUV’s in addition to the second-row driver’s side window of another SUV. He is said to have also damaged the hood of a pickup truck.

 

Thacker was arrested on Tuesday and is being held in the Pike County Detention Center. He has pleaded not-guilty to the charge.
