A 21-year-old man faces a slew of charges after allegedly committing $10,000 worth of damage at Hoboken Terminal Tuesday morning and trying to steal more than three times that much in tickets, the Jersey Journal reported.

Michael Pagan, of Brookyln, allegedly broke the window of a temporary New York Waterway ticket trailer around 4 a.m. Tuesday and tried to steal more than $34,000 worth of tickets, New Jersey Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder told the paper.

Pagan also allegedly broke into a custodial cabinet and set rolls of toilet paper and paper towels on fire, according to police reports.

Snyder said Pagan was arrested immediately and that the tickets were recovered and the fire was extinguished quickly.

He faces charges of arson, burglary, theft, criminal mischief, hindering apprehension and resisting arrest.
