The car owner was reportedly sitting in his favorite seat.

Smith reportedly told authorities that he had committed the crime as retribution for Britt sitting in his favorite bingo seat. He said he was now embarrassed and regretted his actions.

Smith has since been released, but could face a fine of $500 for tire damage and restitution.
