Why The Name?

He's named the "Ice Pick Bandit" because he searches for truck stops and begins puncturing and slashing tires, this is the third time in three different years this has happened.

According to the Clark County Sheriff's Department, the Southfork Truck Stop in Gurdon got hit last September and then again on January 20. It's believed that Ice Pick Bandit has destroyed 1,000 tries since June 2023, according to a report from KARK-TV.

The motive for doing this is unknown, in some cases, he even punctured the airbags and brake lines. Speculation has it that this could be like a personal vendetta. The serial vandal is believed to have parked his truck nearby and walked to the truck stop where he slashed the tires.

More security cameras with higher resolution and night vision capabilities are being installed at the truck stop in hopes of capturing the suspect.
