Heading: Evidence of Additional Instances of Property Damage

Text: Lowry also argues that the trial court erred in admitting testimony from Sandra Lewellen regarding two incidents in which she discovered damage to her personal property. As with the previous point, he argues that the evidence was irrelevant because there was no proof to connect him to it. The first incident was the damage to Sandra's patio furniture, which took place around the end of July 2002. The second incident was the keying of Sandra's truck one week later. We agree with the State that even though neither incident could be directly connected to Lowry, the evidence had at least some tendency to show a course of harassing conduct by Lowry toward Sandra and her family. Especially that concerning the keying of Sandra's truck, as she testified that she heard Rhonda drive by her home right before she discovered the damage and then saw Lowry waving his arms and laughing at her immediately after she reported the incident to the police. We simply cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the evidence.
