On Sept. 18, 2022 the manager of a Four Seasons Car Wash reported that a vacuum had been damaged and a coin machine had been pried open, according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

This resulted in around $5,000-$6,000 in damages.

Deputies were also called to an apartment clubhouse in the 1500 block of Finger Lakes Drive to find that three coin-operated machines had been damaged.

Thornton is not in custody and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
