Russell Clough, 48, of Huntington Station, was arrested at his Old Country Road home at 5:12 p.m. on Friday following an investigation by Suffolk County Police Property Auto Crime Section detectives, according to police.
The investigation began after Fourth Precinct officers responded to a 911 call in Hauppauge on July 23 reporting that a Flock camera appeared to have been spray-painted, police said.
Clough was charged with Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree and issued a Desk Appearance Ticket, according to the release. He is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip at a later date.
