CLAYTON • A St. Louis man has been charged with shooting out car windows in Clayton, Maplewood, Shrewsbury and St. Louis, and charges are pending against the man for the same crimes in Rock Hill and Webster Groves.

Andre Armstrong, 19, told police he and some friends used a BB gun to damage cars parked up and down several streets in mid-November, according to court documents. Sixty-two cars in Clayton alone were damaged. No injuries were reported.

“Their reason was to just have fun — no agenda, no motive. They were just out having a good time,” said Lt. Mark Smith of the Clayton police.

Clayton police cracked the case by finding surveillance video showing the getaway car’s license plate.

In some communities, the damage wasn’t noticed until the morning after. In Shrewsbury, for instance, six residents on Suffolk Avenue woke on the morning of Nov. 14 to find either shattered car windows or holes in their windshields.

Ed Magee, a spokesman for the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office, said there were three other people in the car, including one who is a juvenile. The juvenile has been turned over to juvenile authorities. Magee said Wednesday that there wasn’t enough evidence to charge the two other adults.
