The sound of shattering glass in a Skyhawk Manor apartment during the predawn hours of Sunday morning led to the discovery of an act of vandalism, and later Sunday evening to the offender.
Andrea L. Hartsfield, 22, of South Fulton, Tenn., attended General Sessions court Monday after confessing to damaging property at Skyhawk Manor apartments this weekend at 534 Lee St.
Jason L. Coleman, 22, the resident of the apartment, reported an act of vandalism after hearing the sound of shattering glass in his apartment on Sunday, March 25 at about 4 a.m. Coleman went to investigate and minutes later called the police and reported the incident. Officer Bradley R. Cook responded.
Coleman told Cook that after hearing the noise, he checked his front door and observed that a large rock had been thrown through the window of the door. Upon further investigation, a large rock was found inside the curtains that hung on the door.
Cook estimated the damage to the property at approximately $250.
At approximately 7 p.m. the following day, Martin Police Department Lt. James R. Hatler made contact with Hartsfield at the Martin Police Department for the purpose of conducting a voluntary interview. After being given her Miranda warning, Hartsfield freely confessed to damaging the apartment door with the rock, which was found at the scene of the incident. Afterwards, she was arrested and referred to Weakley County General Sessions Court. Results of her arraignment were not available as of press time Monday. A signed written statement was also attained from Hartsfield.
