Police Charge Man With Breaking Into Iowa State Capitol
Des Moines – Police arrested a man last Monday on charges that he broke into the Iowa Capitol over the weekend and caused some damage, authorities said.
Surveillance cameras recorded images of the man as he entered the building around 2:55 a.m. last Sunday. The nature and extent of the damage wasn’t released.
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said that officers charged Matthew McCoy Parker, 20, with one count of criminal trespass and one count of criminal mischief. Parker is from Pleasant Hill, a Des Moines suburb.
The Iowa State Patrol had said the man might have suffered injuries to his hands and arms in the break-in, and a mug shot released by police showed scrapes on Parker’s face.
Police haven’t indicated a reason behind the break-in.
