A Mountain View woman is accused of slashing tires on her boyfriend’s vehicles, ATV and lawn mower in the Cranfield area. Thirty-seven-year-old Lauren Cullen was arrested Thursday evening on a felony count of first-degree criminal mischief and a charge of disorderly conduct.

According to the incident report, a Baxter County deputy responded to a residence on County Road 958 and was told Cullen had damaged his vehicles. The victim accused his girlfriend of slashing tires on his two vehicles and breaking the windows of one of them. The officer observed the slashed tires and found one of the vehicles with a shattered windshield and broken windows.

The male also claimed all four tires to his riding mower were slashed. The deputy says he observed all tires on the ATV were also slashed.

The victim claims he and Cullen had been arguing, and she drove to his residence and starting cutting the tires and breaking the windows on his vehicles. She reportedly left the residence, returned 10 minutes later and sat in his yard. The male claims he disarmed Cullen by taking away a baseball bat and a knife.

Cullen is currently free on a bond of $5,000.
