GPD charge local woman with throwing a deadly missile at car

A car was assaulted early Wednesday morning by "missiles," including a duffel bag, spaghetti sauce and shards of plates.

Crystal McCook, 29, was charged with throwing a "deadly missile" into a vehicle for pelting a car with a variety of objects, according to a Gainesville Police arrest report.

At the time, car owner Leland Alexander Mercer and two passengers were inside the car.

McCook was seen throwing a 15-pound duffel bag from the top of her stairs onto the car, followed by plates and a glass candle holder, the report said.

Debris and spaghetti sauce were left on the hood of the car.

Police found a bowl of spaghetti in McCook's apartment and plates in her sink matching the broken pieces, according to the report.

Mercer and his two passengers were unharmed, but $3,000 in damage was done to the car.

The duffel bag left two dents and various scratches on the hood. The kitchenware left a 5- to 7-inch crack in the front windshield.

McCook denied throwing the objects.
