Timothy Michael Strickland, 18, of Dunn faces 11 citations for his role in vandalizing vehicles during an Obama political rally.
Investigators say Strickland and a 15-year-old suspect, whose name will not be released because he is a minor, randomly targeted the vehicles as a prank and the incident was in no way politically motivated.
Strickland will make a first court appearance on October 30 on citations for willful injury to personal property.
Meanwhile, detectives are continuing to investigate the 15-year-old suspect who allegedly conspired with Strickland to damage the vehicles.
