A Palm Bay man was arrested over the weekend, accused of throwing a cinder block at a moving car.

The incident happened Friday on Jupiter Boulevard, near Garvey Road. 

Robert Pearce said he had his two daughters in the car with him, when someone in an oncoming car threw a piece of cinder block at his SUV. 

“As I start to approach them, I see this chunk of debris come flying out of the car through the headlights,” Pearce said. “Then, WHAM! Hit the truck, broke into a couple of pieces.”

Pearce followed the car until the driver pulled onto Malabar Road, nearly hitting a motorcyclist, according to police. 

Two passengers in the car told police Kadeem Tomlinson, 20, who was sitting behind the driver, collected a cinder block before getting in the car and stated he was going to throw it at a random car in the roadway as a ‘prank.’

Kadeem is facing charges for criminal mischief and throwing a deadly missile.
