A 59-year-old Florida man has been charged with cutting the brake lines of electric scooters in Fort Lauderdale.
Randall Williams, 59, was arrested Sunday and charged with felony criminal mischief, along with additional misdemeanor counts of resisting an officer and prowling. According to local law, first degree criminal mischief charges may earn the convicted up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine or both.
Over 140 scooters have been tampered with since April in the general area—all with cut brake lines, and all within the 12000 block of East Broward Boulevard. Williams was first captured on security camera footage outside tampering with the scooters on September 22. He was allegedly caught mid-brake severing on Sunday, when he was eventually taken into custody after being caught tampering with two scooters on camera. There's no word if any bystanders were injured during the arrest. Over 20 scooters in the immediate area were then discovered to have had their brakes cut.
The vendor was then notified by police, who removed the scooters from the area to avoid riders from being injured. Stock photo of an electronic parking street sign.

They are actively investigating the incident, according to a statement released to local news affiliates. Online court records didn't list an attorney for Williams who could be contacted for comment on his behalf.
