On Tuesday, during an interview with Battros, he admitted to damaging the vehicle, telling the investigating officer that he did it "just for fun," according to the Saugerties Police Department.

It's unclear why the 18-year-old from Texas was in Ulster County or why he decided to allegedly damage the car at the Cantine Memorial Sports Complex

Battros was processed at police headquarters and then released on an appearance ticket returnable to the Town of Saugerties Justice Court to answer his charges.
