The incident allegedly took place when UConn professor Gabriel Fenteany was visiting someone in the town of Greenwich, about two hours from campus.
Fenteany allegedly ripped the side-view mirrors from "a BMW, two Audis, two Lexuses and a Honda Civic," according to The Courant. He has been charged with first-degree criminal mischief and second-degree breach of peace, among other offenses.
Fenteany was "placed on administrative leave and has been banned from campus until the investigations by police and the university are completed," a UConn spokesperson told The Courant in a statement.
This is not the first time Fenteany has faced legal trouble, and last year was arrested following a domestic dispute. A graduate student who worked with Fenteany told UConn student newspaper The Daily Campus that the professor "has undergone 'numerous setbacks' in his personal life, which led to a stressful environment in the lab."
