An East Cobb man faces six felony charges after allegedly spray-painting and tampering with Flock surveillance cameras in his subdivision on four occasions.

Sean Ellis Grimes, whose address is listed on Ellenwood Drive in the Coventry Green neighborhood, is charged with six felony counts of second-degree criminal damage to property and five misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass, according to East Cobb News.

An arrest warrant states Grimes spray-painted a Flock camera with red paint and tampered with the electrical box at a Kettering Drive location on four separate occasions: Aug. 8 through Aug. 11, Sept. 1 through Sept. 14, and Sept. 19. He is also accused of tampering with an electrical box mounted to a Flock pole on another resident's private property on Kettering Drive.

The alleged vandalism extended beyond East Cobb. Grimes is also accused of spray-painting and tampering with a Flock camera on Childers Road at Garrard Crossing in Roswell that belongs to the Roswell Police Department.

Grimes turned himself in at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on Oct. 4 and was released the same day on a $5,720 bond, according to his booking report.

Under Georgia law, second-degree criminal damage to property (Official Code of Georgia Annotated §16-7-23) is a felony that applies when someone intentionally damages another person's property without consent and the damage exceeds $500. Each count carries a prison term of one to five years.

The charges mark the third separate Flock camera vandalism case in Cobb County in recent weeks. Colby Williams, 25, of McDonough was arrested Sept. 4 for shooting projectiles at cameras at East Cobb Park and Providence Square. James Gerard Ramirez, 20, of Kennesaw was arrested in late September for allegedly destroying cameras at Big Shanty Park and other Kennesaw locations, as reported by the Marietta Daily Journal.

The string of incidents comes amid a broader community debate over Flock camera use. At the Aug. 31 town hall at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center, Cobb Police Chief Dan Ferrell said "the risk of misuse is real and the concerns are legitimate," as reported by East Cobb News on Sept. 4.

Cobb Police operate 182 Flock automated license plate readers across the county. No statement from Cobb Police or the Roswell Police Department about the Grimes case has been made public.

No court date for Grimes has been announced.
