Man Accused Of Spray Painting Buildings In Nashua

NASHUA, NH — A monthlong investigating into tagging on buildings in Nashua has led to a felony charge against a homeless man in the Gate City. Officers from the field operations bureau began investigating vandalism reports on Feb. 2 and for the next month, they responded to "multiple locations throughout the city for the report of vandalism due to spray painting of the exterior siding of multiple buildings," according to Lt. Daniel Mederos of the criminal investigation division.

Rodney Maulding, 33, of no fixed address, "was identified as being responsible for committing the vandalism," according to Mederos, and was arrested Tuesday on a felony criminal mischief charge. The damage to the buildings is more than $1,500, he said.

Maulding was processed and released on personal recognizance bail. He's due in Hillsborough County Superior Court South on March 19.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Nashua police at 603-589-1665.
