An Arizona man has been arrested for reportedly breaking in the Glendale Municipal Airport and flooding the local air hub with a hose in an act of vandalism that caused damages of $70,000.

Around 2:00 a.m. on Jan. 4, suspect Timothy Tan Guan apparently used a hammer to break “multiple windows” at the airport and dragged a hose into the terminal to flood the first floor, Fox 10 reports. According to AZ Central, the 23-year-old man’s act of vandalism caused the terminal and all programs to be shut down for 24 hours as airport officials waited for the interior to dry.

Just two days later, Guan returned to the scene of the crime, Fox 10 reports. Back at Glendale airport, the man was “caught by an employee manipulating a water spigot” that he allegedly used to first flood the terminal.

The suspect then escaped into a car, and fled the scene but he was soon arrested in Phoenix.

Arrested by police, officials found an unusual sight in the trunk of his car — "at least 10 cases of eggs, containing 60 eggs each,” Fox 10 reports.
