The Canadian Press, 02 Oct, 2015 11:23 AM

KINGSTON, Ont. — An eastern Ontario man has been charged with mischief after allegedly damaging federal election signs belonging to different parties.

Kingston, Ont., police say early Friday morning officers saw a man kicking and throwing an election sign.

They say the man told police he blamed one politician for having an agenda against him.

Police say the officer pointed out that the damaged signs behind the man belonged to another federal party.

The suspect allegedly said he didn't care, and police say he indicated he had damaged other signs, and refused a suggestion by the officer to set the signs back up.

Police say he then began damaging more signs at which point he was arrested and charged.
