A Glasgow man facing a felony charge for allegedly damaging a police car is due in court.

According to a probable-cause statement, while being detained in police custody in the parking lot of a bar, Dimitrix McCoy was placed inside a Glasgow police car while an ongoing investigation was in progress concerning a domestic assault which occurred at a different location.

McCoy and his fiancé had a verbal argument, which turned physical, and McCoy pulled her hair and she bit him. While being detained, McCoy became irate and leaned back in the seat and began kicking the dashboard of the police vehicle, causing it to crack. While kicking the dashboard, his foot went outside of the vehicle and hit the side mirror of the vehicle, causing it to break. While he was kicking, he also kicked the radar gun, which bent the mount holding the radar gun. The estimated cost to repair the damages is around $750 or more.

During the trip to the jail, McCoy said he had a “dime bag” of weed in his pocket, which was seized. It weighed 5.2 grams.

According to court documents, McCoy is charged with a felony for property damage in the first degree and misdemeanors for domestic assault in the fourth degree and possession of marijuana. The court set McCoy’s bond at no bond.

McCoy was arraigned on July 14. A bond-review hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, August 23, at Howard County Circuit Court.
