The victim looked over his surveillance video and deputies identified the suspect as James Eddy Pierson.
Detectives then conducted an investigation and found out a similar incident happened before at the victim's house. A large amount of pee was poured on his front door mat.
The victim told deputies that he was unable to remove all of the urine on his vehicle because some of it had seeped inside, causing about $2,000 in damage.

Pierson was taken to Ventura County Jail and booked on suspicion of vandalism and elder abuse. His bail is set at $25,000 and his arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.
