I don't mean to change the subject but it is about Jersey's charge of tampering with a vehicle. The statute for this charge also reads as this:
Tampering in the first degree.
569.080. 1. A person commits the crime of tampering in the first degree if:
(1) He or she for the purpose of causing a substantial interruption or impairment of a service rendered to the public by a utility or by an institution providing health or safety protection, damages or tampers with property or facilities of such a utility or institution, and thereby causes substantial interruption or impairment of service; or

Could his charge be for the dumpster fire possibly? It's property and that dumpsters service to the area was interrupted. Just wondering.
The full statute is at the link above.
