Surveillance footage from nearby, she said, showed a late 1970s model Ford Thunderbird driving on a sidewalk.
The vehicle description, along with Facebook posts from concerned community members, led police to Anthony Burrus, a 27-year-old Henderson resident.
Burrus has been charged with criminal mischief in the first degree and leaving the scene of an accident. Online jail records do not list an attorney for him.
Some of the crosses were embedded in the tires of his vehicle, she said. Police don't know if he deliberately drove over the plastic crosses, she said.
"He said he didn't do it. He admitted to driving the vehicle in the morning but would not state that he drove through the park. But the evidence is in his car tires."
An estimated 160 crosses need to be repaired or replaced.
"We're hoping to have all of them replaced by Monday," said Richmond, who has relatives honored by crosses in the park. "But we don't know right now."

Who in the world still drives a late 70’s Thunderbird? I can’t remember the last time I saw one.
late 1970s model Ford Thunderbird ?
That’s an accomplishment all by itself. I didn’t think any of those were still operable.
Tell the perp he's going to prison. If he fixes all the crosses by Monday, he gets to wear clothes in prison.
If he doesn't, he doesn't.
If I post what I am thinking, I would get in trouble!
If he doesnt fix them, give him all pink prison clothes with the words “Little Bitch” on them.
Given the time, a late 70s T-Bird, parts of crosses left in his tires, and the look of the guy in the mug shot, I’d say it’s likely he woke up, looked around and said, “Where da heck is I at?”
Hold muh beer moments never end well.
I can think of two “nabes”. Either they are ‘tweakers’ or do ‘draynk’. Take your pick.
Are you sure?
Wrong.
Burrus image is linked to the Miami Herald story in Google image search. You click on the Herald story and his image has been removed from the story for some reason. I am sure this is the guy.
He is wrong.
Here is his FB.

I have a feeling this had nothing to do with politics or ideology.
Clarence Thomas thinks you shouldn’t be allowed to BURN crosses, but I guess SCOTUS would be A-OK with this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_v._Black
Let the kid spend a couple months in prison with nothing but a jar of Vaseline for clothing.
You have the correct image of Burrus.
I am sorry I posted the wrong image of Burrus. Ken H’s post #11 has the correct image of him.
No prob.
