A Jefferson City man was placed on probation after pleading guilty to charges in connection with the vandalism of mailboxes in February.
Derek Schlueter, 25, was charged with second-degree property damage and receiving stolen property.
He was placed on two years unsupervised probation, and was ordered to pay $118.50 in fines and complete 80 hours of community service.
According to police reports, officers were dispatched to the 100 block of East High Street for a suspicious activity call.
A witness contacted police after observing Schlueter vandalizing mailboxes and street signs in the area.
Officers arrived within moments of the call and approached Schlueter who was identified by the witness as the suspect.
After placing him under arrest, officers found items, such as stickers and permanent markers, used to deface property and which matched the areas vandalized.
In addition, an inventory search of Schlueter's vehicle revealed stolen street signs and marked police department traffic cones, a small quantity of marijuana and marijuana smoking paraphernalia, and multiple cans of spray paint.
