Joshua Miller, who serves as the Senate Democrat policy chairman, is accused of keying the vehicle that had been parked next to his own at the Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, on Thursday.
The son of the car's owner immediately reported the incident to the police, stating that he heard a scratching noise and got out of the vehicle to see Miller holding a set of keys.
When he confronted Miller about keying his vehicle, Miller simply denied it and walked away.
That was until police arrived and charged Miller with a misdemeanor.
The entire episode led to a series of awkward encounters with the local police as they tried to pin down what happened.
Police body camera footage showed how Cranston Police approached Miller two hours later, where he initially denied vandalizing the car and even allowed them to inspect his keys to see if any paint from the car had transferred.
Miller then blamed the victim, claiming he believed he had been recognized as a politician.
He said he believed the man accusing him of keying his car was a 'gun nut' and part of a group of people who allegedly stalk him due to his backing of anti-gun legislation.
'He was blocking my way, saying that I scratched his car, I didn't scratch his car,' Miller said. 'I'm a state senator, I think he recognized me. I think he's one of the gun nuts.'
'He didn't recognize you', the police officer responded bluntly.
Miller leads the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and represents District 28 that includes the location of the incident. He has held his position since 2006.
Miller was the sponsor of a senate bill which looks to ban the possession, sale and transfer of assault weapons.

It's a Democrat doing it to a conservative. They can do whatever they want with no consequences whatsoever.
never bring just a key to a gun fight ...
The vehicle he keyed had dark tinted windows. This rat never saw the occupants until after vandalizing their vehicle.
No less stupid for that.
Btw, people who do this kind of nasty behind your back BS are really stupid...Cameras are everywhere and they’re capturing these nasty rats daily.
Well, the kid may have been slouched down playing on his phone or something. Or they had tinted windows, who knows.
But it’s just a generally dumb idea all around to key a car. You won’t change anyone’s opinion by doing it. In fact you will probably just make sure they will never ever consider “changing teams” since who would want to be on the same side as a lowlife who keys cars?
Add:
Lying to a police officer,
Obstructing and investigation
Leaving the scene of a crime.
Fat, four eyed yellow toothed mongrel. Yep. Democrat.
Tinted windows, slouched down, whatever. It’s idiotic to key a car at all, and doubly idiotic not to make completely sure the car is unoccupied. And then, as dragnet2 pointed out, there are cameras everywhere these days, so trebly idiotic.
Sorry, I forgot to include you in my post #29. My mistake.
No biggy

Well, it’s a pretty good parking lot for Boston.
