Maria Elena Gimeno, 57, was booked on a charge of criminal mischief after handing herself into police on Wednesday.

The charge is categorized as a class 6 felony, and is punishable by up to 18 months in prison.

Police have not publicly stated whether Gimeno gave a reason as to why she allegedly damaged the $35,000 Tesla, and they did not divulge whether she was known to the vehicle's owner, Alan Tweedie.

The act of vandalism was performed at Legacy High School in Broomfield on Saturday, while Tweedie was watching his daughter's soccer game.

He returned to his automobile to find one long white scratch running from the back of the car all the way to the driver's door and several small scratches on the rear of the vehicle.

Tweedie subsequently shared the video on Facebook writing: 'My car got vandalized at a soccer game at Legacy High School today, anyone know who this is?'

'We identified the suspect, 57-year-old Maria Elena Gimeno, earlier this week. Last night she turned herself in and was booked at the Broomfield Detention Center... We appreciate the community's help solving this case,' they wrote on Facebook.

Tweedie has not publicly commented since the suspect's arrest.

He told CBS4 last week : 'It really speaks to the level of anger for a crime like this that so many people are willing to spread it and share the word and try to help us find it because nobody likes this. This is my car but it could be yours next'.

The damage to the car is estimated to be more than $2,000.
