Rockford "artist" charged with vandalizing local GOP HQ with "rape" graffiti stripped down to underwear during police questioning

Unhinged?

The suspect is Timothy A. Damm, who lives a block away from the scene of the crime.

From the Rockford Register-Star:

The man authorities say defaced the county Republican headquarters by spray-painting the words “rape” and “shame” on the building described himself as an “artist” and told a television reporter on the day the graffiti were discovered that the vandal or vandals had gotten their message across.

Detectives had identified Damm as a primary suspect on Sunday and officers detained him at the Walmart on East Riverside Boulevard. Damm had purchased several additional cans of spray paint, according to a criminal complaint.

When officers brought Damm back to District 2 police headquarters for questioning, he refused to cooperate, danced on the table in the interview room, stacked the chairs and furnishings in the interview room and disrobed down to his underwear, according to the complaint.

Damm was asked to leave the interview room but refused and had to be pulled from the room by officers. Officers said he continued to thrash his arms and legs in a holding room and had to be taken to the floor and restrained in handcuffs.
