Village of Bath Police Chief Donald Lewis confirmed to the outlet that Comstock was taken into custody after the alleged victim contacted police on Tuesday evening and claimed the street racer had tampered with their vehicle.
Lewis explained to the outlet that officers spoke with the victim, who said he recognized the reality TV personality on his Ring security camera committing the alleged crime.
Comstock also reached out to the police department around the same time and spoke with investigators on the case — with the outlet reporting he “fully cooperated” — after which detectives checked the vehicle and located a GPS device.
