Orange Man, 18, Charged With Egging House on Christmas Day

Orange police officers say Christopher Farrell, 18, of Orange Center Road, is accused of targeting a homeowner by throwing eggs and garbage at their house.

Officers responded to a private residence on Locust Drive regarding a vandalism complaint on Christmas Day.

Officers learned that the residents there had been experiencing vandalism incidents repeatedly over the past few months, but that on today’s date, they were able to recognize one of the perpetrators when eggs and garbage were thrown at their home, police said.

Officers located Farrell at his home, where he confessed to the incident, police said. He was subsequently taken into custody and charged with third-degree criminal mischief. The previous incidents are still under investigation, police said.

He is due to appear in Superior Court on Jan. 7.
