ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 The man Orlando police say killed a swan at Lake Eola one year ago is back behind bars again, accused of a metal pipe rampage in broad daylight on Monday.<\/p>\n
34-year-old Adonis Leyva is facing felony criminal mischief charges in connection with the incident, which happened along busy East Colonial Drive.<\/p>\n
Investigators say he smashed an Arby\u2019s window with the pipe, terrifying one of the female workers there, and then continued to damage nearby property by striking a Dunkin\u2019 Donuts sign.<\/p>\n
He is also accused of throwing the pipe at cars while also walking in the roadway.<\/p>\n
Leyva was spotted moments later by responding officers at the Wawa across the street, and identified by the Arby\u2019s worker, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad everybody\u2019s alright,\u201d Kim Long, who was filling up for gas at the Wawa, said. \u201cI hope he gets the help that he needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Tuesday morning, a worker at a nearby PNC Bank branch noticed that the ATM had been smashed.<\/p>\n
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage, which appeared to show Leyva at that location on Monday as well. He faces an additional felony charge for the PNC bank property damage.<\/p>\n
News 6 reviewed court records, which show Leyva was arrested nearly a year ago at Lake Eola in a separate, high-profile case involving the killing of a swan.<\/p>\n
People at the lake on Tuesday said they have questions about Leyva\u2019s violent, erratic behavior in public places.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody would feel safe,\u201d Elizabeth Guerrero said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody that does cruelty or has harming in their hearts should be free.\u201d<\/p>\n
Records also show Leyva went through a mental competency evaluation in that case, and a judge found him fit to stand trial. <\/p>\n
Court records indicate he later pleaded no contest and was released less than a month ago after spending 344 days in jail.<\/p>\n
News 6 contacted State Attorney Monique Worrell\u2019s office asking whether Leyva received mental health treatment as part of the earlier case and whether he was on probation.<\/p>\n
The State Attorney\u2019s Office has not yet answered those questions.<\/p>\n
A sign posted at the Arby\u2019s referenced in the police report indicates the restaurant is \u201cno longer open.\u201d<\/p>\n
