Judge sentences man for slashing Ball State tires in 2009

A Delaware Circuit Court judge sentenced a Muncie man to two years of probation for slashing the tires of Ball State-owned vehicles in 2009.

On June 26, Judge Kimberly Dowling sentenced Huckelby to two years of probation and ordered him to pay $7,802.25 in restitution to Ball State, according to the court case.

Brian R. Huckelby, 38, pleaded guilty to slashing the tires. He was originally charged in 2009 with a Class C felony for institutional criminal mischief, which was lowered to a Class D felony after his plea.

Huckelby slashed 67 tires on about 15 Ball State-owned vehicles in 2009, according to earlier Daily News reports.

A police report suggested he became angry after Parking Services placed a tire boot on his vehicle following an alleged parking violation.

Lon Bryan, Huckelby’s attorney, characterized the tire slashing as “an act of retaliation,” the Star Press reported.
