This will be short, as the info is a very brief news article.

Quoted in its 3-paragraph entirety below the fold. I wouldn't usually quote the whole article, but its very short
Man charged in tire-slashing at Obama rally
Fayetteville, N.C. — A Dunn man has been charged with slashing the tires of several vehicles outside Crown Coliseum last week during a rally featuring Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Timothy Michael Strickland, 18, of the 8300 block of Norris Road, was cited with 11 counts of willful injury to personal property. Juvenile detectives with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office also are questioning a 15-year-old in the case, but no charges have been filed yet.
Investigators said Strickland and the 15-year old randomly targeted vehicles for vandalism as a prank. The tire-slashings were not politically motivated, authorities said.
Its good news, though I doubt the statement that the slashing weren't politically motivated.

Update: As was pointed out below by Catte Nappe, the Dunn newspaper has a larger article:

The Dunn article indicates the same pair are under suspicion for an earlier set of tire slashings at a concert, which improves the chance that it was indeed, NOT politically motivated. Just Youthful Stupidity.
