A Eugene man pleaded guilty Wednesday, Aug. 20, to throwing rocks at a Department of Homeland Security vehicle parked at the federal building in downtown Eugene.

Federal prosecutors charged Kielan Robert Eugene Fitzsimonds with depredation of government property, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.

The damage was less than $1,000, according to a plea agreement, with the charge reduced from felony depredation of government property. Sentencing for Fitzsimonds has been set for Dec. 4.

Fitzsimonds admitted to throwing rocks on June 8 that damaged an unmarked government vehicle, court documents state. One rock shattered a back window, while others dented the roof and trunk of the vehicle.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office on June 16 announced damage to a Homeland Security vehicle and the detention of Fitzsimonds.

Fitzsimonds is free until the sentencing hearing, but the conditions of his release require him to stay at Eugene Mission, a shelter for the unhoused, with approval from pretrial authorities required before any move. Fitzsimonds has also been ordered to stay at least 500 feet away from the federal building.

The vandalism was unrelated to peaceful street demonstrations on June 11 and June 14 opposing federal immigration enforcement activity and the policies of President Donald Trump.
