On Tuesday, FTVLive told you that cops were looking for an idiot that took a camera from a Photographer at WQAD (Rock Island, IL) and smashed it into the ground in a parking lot.

Well, thanks to having video of this jerk smashing the news camera, it didn’t take police long to arrest this guy.

The Rock Island County State's Attorney's Office issued charges against Brett R. Laermans. He is charged with criminal damage to property and battery.

He’s due back in court in July.
