The man was able to walk to the fire station on Hurst Road and give a description of the vehicle from which the mailbox was thrown. Deputies responded to the incident immediately and were able to question the witness.

He was arrested on June 8. A juvenile was also charged with obstruction of a police officer and driving without a license in the case.
