Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Columbia police have arrested a suspect they say broke a window at a business in the Five Points district.

Dean Rogers, 19, turned himself over to police Thursday.

Police say on September 16, Rogers and two other people were walking down Saluda Avenue near the store. Officers say Rogers used his upper body to smash the front of the Revente store, then walked away.

You may recall the owner of Revente used social media to get the word out about the crime and show the man's picture. Previous Coverage: Five Points Business Fights Crime with Social Media

Officers say someone recognized the man from surveillance video which was released of the incident. That person then called police.

Rogers is charged with malicious injury to property.
