26-year-old Lauren Gilbert was taken into custody for two counts of vandalism on May 19th, 2024. On June 12th, 2020, Katelyn Egan filed a report stating on May 27th, 2020, she noticed that someone, later identified as Gilbert, had taken “a sharp instrument” and slashed her 2003 white Honda Accord’s right rear tire, causing it to go flat. Egan said a person from the apartment complex approached her, telling her they had witnessed the occurrence the night prior. The witness added that he saw a large black female with a sharp object puncture her Honda’s tire before sitting in a red SUV for 30 minutes and leaving. He gave officers the vehicle’s tag number, which belonged to a 2016 red Kia SUV registered to Gilbert’s father. Egan informed police that she and Gilbert had dated in the past, so Gilbert knew the Honda was hers. A warrant was issued for her arrest, and she was later detained for the occurrence.
