Thirty-one-year-old Nicholas Christopher Thompson, who is accused of engaging in a joyride and crashing a Mercedes Benz GLE 53 on the compound of Stewart's Automotive Group on Saturday night, is to appear in the St Andrew Parish Court on Wednesday.
He has been charged with malicious destruction of property.
