PORTAGE TOWNSHIP — Police say jealousy stemming from a divorce led a 40-year-old South Haven man to shoot up another man’s vehicle Friday night in the 700 block of Baltimore Road and strike a neighboring home in the process.

Donald Furcsik, of the 300 block of Greendale Drive, was arrested Saturday and faces a felony count of criminal recklessness and a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief, according to Porter County police.

Furcsik reportedly told police he drove by the residence and shot at the Jeep because he was frustrated that the resident was having a relationship with his soon-to-be former wife. The shooting was caught by a security camera.

Furcsik said he used an air gun and pellets to shoot at the vehicle. Police said Furcsik showed them the air gun he used, but police recovered a .22-caliber shell casing from inside Furcsik’s vehicle.

The Jeep had several windows damaged or destroyed, and the hard cap on the rear of the vehicle was damaged, police said. It also appears one of the shots passed through the vehicle and into the wall of a neighboring home where the resident was sleeping, police said.

The owner of the vehicle said someone also had slashed all four tires on a van he owns sometime Friday night outside a Portage bar.
