EAST STROUDSBURG, PA — Police are asking for the public’s help locating a 43-year-old man wanted on felony charges after allegedly damaging his ex-girlfriend’s vehicle during a June dispute.

Dick D. Farrales, whose last known address is in Union, New Jersey, is accused of throwing a brick at the victim’s car on June 17, shattering the windshield and denting the roof. Magisterial District Judge Michael A. Wolbert issued an arrest warrant on August 11 after the damage was determined to warrant felony charges.

What Police Say Happened

Stroud Area Regional Police responded to Chestnut Street around 12:18 p.m. on June 17 after receiving a domestic disturbance call. The victim reported that Farrales, her ex-boyfriend, became aggressive during an argument and hurled a brick at her vehicle before fleeing.

Officers tracked Farrales to a laundromat nearby, where he reportedly admitted to causing the damage. He was detained and searched, and police say they found drug paraphernalia inside a fanny pack he was carrying.

Farrales was taken to Monroe County Correctional Facility. However, after assessing the full extent of the vehicle damage, authorities upgraded the charges to a felony and secured a warrant in August. He has not been apprehended on those charges.

• Criminal Mischief – Damage Property (F3)
• Possession of a Controlled Substance (M)
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (M) – 3 counts

The felony criminal mischief charge suggests damage exceeding $5,000 and carries up to seven years in prison under Pennsylvania law.
