An arrest has been made in connection with vandalism Sunday night at Kentucky Oaks Mall.

The Paducah Police Department reports that detectives arrested Decardia Key, of Paducah, at 4:11 pm Tuesday on a warrant charging him with first-degree criminal mischief.

Paducah police were notified just after 8:30 pm Sunday of a large gathering of people on the parking lot of Kentucky Oaks Mall.

Officers arrived a few minutes later and saw a number of vehicles leaving the parking lot, and found glass broken from the storefront of Five Below. 

Police received numerous tips and videos related to the incident, as well as potential suspects, and they credit the public’s assistance in solving this crime. Detectives followed up on those tips and obtained surveillance video from the store, and were able to positively identify Key as the person breaking the window of Five Below.

Five doors and three upper window panels at the front entrance of the mall also were broken, and the investigation into that damage is continuing.

Key was taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail.
