Joliet Man Kept Getting Caught on Video Vandalizing Ex-Girlfriend's Car: Cops

Surveillance video captured a Joliet man vandalizing his ex-girlfriend’s car three times in less than four weeks, police said.

Joseph Baker, 23, was reportedly arrested when he came down to the police station Monday evening to speak with detectives about the alleged vandalism.

Baker was caught on surveillance video damaging his 21-year-old ex-girlfriend’s Chevy Cobalt while it was parked outside her Delrose Street home, police said. One alleged incident occurred on July 24 and the other was Aug. 16.

The ex-girlfriend’s father had set up the surveillance camera, police said.

In between, on July 30, Baker allegedly vandalized her car while it was parked outside her job at the Best Buy near the Louis mall. That incident was recorded by the store’s surveillance camera, police said.

Baker “made admissions” about the vandalism, police said. He was charged with criminal damage to property and released on his own recognizance.
