A suspect was taken into custody after multiple vehicles and a business were vandalized in Reno Wednesday night, according to authorities.
Reno Police Lt. Scott Shaw said officers received a call at about 9:30 p.m. regarding a subject throwing rocks at vehicles at Vaughn Motor Sports located at 1860 Mill St.
When officers arrived, they found an alarm going off at a separate business at 1855 Mill St. and a male subject standing outside that business, Shaw said.
Police said the suspect was not listening to their verbal commands, and they thought he was possibly armed, so they pepper-sprayed him and took him into custody.
Paramedics responded to the scene to examine the suspect, who Shaw identified as Richard Perry.
In all, police said one business' window was broken, and four vehicles were damaged.
