Perks is alleged to have caused widespread vandalism in Irvington, Kentucky, on the morning of September 9, 2026. Police responded to reports of the incident at approximately 5:45 a.m., where Perks allegedly used a hammer to smash windshields on city property and city vehicles. The suspect is described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair. Due to the threat posed by the suspect, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the city of Irvington at 7:55 a.m., leading to the closure of all city government offices and the cancellation of school activities in the Breckinridge County School District. Although the shelter-in-place order was lifted just after 2:00 p.m., the search for Perks remains ongoing. Irvington Mayor Charles D.
