That would lead to an assault charge.

A more likely explanation -- though I don't know -- is a prior criminal history, especially if the suspect missed prior court appearances or probation appointments.

Damage to the paint? I know for a FACT that eggs do not damage paint UNLESS you leave them sitting on the car in the cold. Me and my friends have egged eachother cars several times, kind of a car war between eachother, and not ONE of us has had damage to the car. Heck, even honey and caramel syrup didnt damage my friends car. So my guess is this person either used the wrong cleaning product or went through the touch free carwash, which doesnt work, and waxed over the egg. Soap and water takes off eggs EASY

A car war by mutual consent is different than coming out and finding your car egged.
While it may seem trivial, by your standards, it is damaging private property.

What the hell is going on with our parents. Young and old? All of them leaving children in houses by themselves. I hope she didn't get arrested simply because she went outside.

The point of my comment is eggs dont damage the car unless you leave it on there for a long time. Ive never had trouble washing it off so she must have somthing wrong
