WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, MI \u2014 An Oakland County man is facing charges after destroying multiple license plate cameras to pieces, according to police.<\/p>\n
Spencer Anderson, 24, of Clarkston, was charged with three counts of malicious destruction of police property. <\/p>\n
Additionally, police are also seeking restitution for the damage.<\/p>\n
He was released from jail after posting a $5,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for March 11.<\/p>\n
On Feb. 23, Waterford police learned that their Automatic License Plate Readers within the township were no longer working.<\/p>\n
Officers went to their locations and found the cameras forcibly broken from their mounts and “smashed to pieces,” police said.<\/p>\n
One of the cameras, however, caught Anderson’s car and its license plate just before he smashed the camera, police said.<\/p>\n
Investigators also obtained video footage from a nearby business that also caught Anderson exiting the car and using a blunt instrument to hit two license plate cameras until they broke off their mounts, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, MI \u2014 An Oakland County man is facing charges after destroying multiple license plate cameras to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-203502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
