A Christopher man is in custody after investigators say he damaged multiple cars in Carbondale Sunday morning.

Carbondale Police says officers were called to the 400 block of West Jackson Street around 5 a.m. after getting reports of damaged vehicles.

While on scene officers heard the sounds of glass breaking close by. 

They found several windows broken at businesses in the 200 block of E. Main Street and saw a suspect breaking windows at a second business.

Officers arrested 25 year old Nickolas Furlow of Christopher, after a short foot chase.

Furlow is being held at the Jackson County Jail on multiple counts of criminal damage to property.
