(La Porte County, IN) - Another man has been charged in connection with frozen bottles of water striking moving vehicles on a stretch of highway in La Porte County.

James Thompson is charged with multiple counts of criminal recklessness and criminal mischief.  In December, authorities say Thompson was driving when he tossed the frozen water bottles at three oncoming vehicles on U.S. 421.  One of the vehicles had to be towed because of damage that caused a fluid leak.

A passenger, 18 year old Phillip Duffus, is also charged in the case.

Police said surveillance video helped in identifying the suspects from LaCrosse and Illinois.  The cost of repairs ranged from about $1,700 to over $5,600 dollars.
