If you egg someones house, can you be arrested?

CGIV76

Yes.
That is misdemeanor vandalism, which could be bumped up to a felony depending on how much damage was caused by the eggs.

trooper3316

Absolutely.

Could be anything from disorderly conduct, to criminal damage to property, or criminal mischief. Eggs can stain paint.

chuck_junior

Yep. The charge would be malicious mischief.

Amanda

Yes...and rightly so too!!!

Zazz

That would be vandalism, so -- yes!

julez

Yes, its vandalism to private property

Bassman58

It is called vandalism.

*****

Yes, for vandalism and littering.

D B

Jadore

Yes you little thug, but not if it is my house because i will punish you myself.
If you know what is good for you stay away from me and mine.

wcanoodle

vambosthirdincarnation

aurea b

Mic

HELLS YEAH

Jen

Yup.

DocoMyster

An arrest can be made provided the victim wishes to pursue charges. In the likely-hood the victim chooses not to, the state could decided to pursue charges but that chance is slim to none. The specific charge varies depending on the jurisdiction.

vdv_desantnik

yes, its vandalism and harassment

EyeCan'tDecide

these days you can be arrested for looking at someones house

suzanne m

Yes!!

squeakycheek

How could they catch you if you had a halloween mask on! However knowing your luck the police would decide that it was one case they'd take on and find your fingerprints on the egg shell. Best not to I think!

ColtsDude

Sure you could, but as one brilliant individual brought up already only if you get caught, like you'd turn yourself in or something. It's so much fun though, go ahead and do it anyway! Ha, yeah like someone is going to go through the trouble and expense of getting finger prints off an eggshell, is that even possible!

joan k

Yes, it's an awful thing to do. It just shows the mentality of the youth of today to intimidate and harass people.

jason c

Yes you can be arrested for criminal damage, breach of the piece or any other public order offence.

ghost

Yes, but we aren't looking at a life sentence. But you could get community service, or a fine.

twinkly_toes

yes, but theyd have to prove it was you. quite right too. its harrassment, criminal damage, anti-social behaviour, blah blah blah.

Sheba

what do you think..... You try getting dry egg off stucco.

allen555

Yes, at the least it is a breach of the peace.

Shaggy

If you can't .. YOU BLOODY WELL SHOULD BE.......louts
