A Cobb County man was free on bond Tuesday after spending four days in custody for allegedly damaging property while on a bulldozer, according to police.
Cody Ray Gibbs, 22, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol when he intentionally destroyed concrete curbing, erosion silt fence and landscaping at a construction site near Powder Springs where homes were to be built, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Gibbs did not have consent of the property owners to operate the bulldozer between 2 and 2:30 a.m. Aug. 2, the warrant states. The warrant does not state whether or not Gibbs was employed by the company that owned the bulldozer.
A week later, Gibbs was arrested and charged with second degree criminal damage, a felony. Property developers told police that damage was estimated at $10,000.
Gibbs was booked into the Cobb County jail Aug. 9 and released late Monday after posting $10,000 bond, booking records show.
The arrest was the second for Gibbs in recent weeks in Cobb County, according to jail records. Powder Springs police arrested Gibbs on misdemeanor charges of DUI, not having a driver's license and making an improper lane change, and he was booked into the county jail July 28, records show. Gibbs was released the same day.
