A man was arrested after a series of mischievous acts that began in Seattle’s Arboretum on Thursday.

The man reportedly hurled a log at a vehicle on Lake Washington Blvd E. The log broke the side mirror and dented the hood.

Police say the man then fled into the woods. The driver called 911.

The suspect was next seen at a residence around E. Interlaken Blvd. and 26th Avenue E. where he pulled a sign from the home’s yard and did some watering, rearranging a hose and turning on an outdoor spigot.

The homeowner yelled at the man to leave the property, but the man then went up to the front door and began ringing the bell saying someone was chasing him.

The homeowner then called police.

Authorities caught up with the man outside the home and arrested him for property destruction.
