WATCH HERESuffolk County police allege Kyle Vazquez, of Coram, dumped a big container of eggs on his head -- yes, on his own head -- in front of the entrance to a Ralph's Italian Ices in Centereach at the end of April. They say he then drove off, leaving eggs and broken shells on the entranceway and front door of the sweets shop.
Video of the incident was then uploaded to a social media account linked to Vazquez, according to police. In the video, he can be heard saying "I'm Tommy Tuff Knuckle and I'm the reason egg prices are so high!" before dumping 50 eggs over his head.
A follow-up investigation revealed further instances of victimization, officials say.
The day after the egg incident, police allege Vazquez went to a Chinese restaurant not far from the Ralph's Italian Ices shop, walked inside and poured a bucket of beans on his head. That also got the floor.
Video of that incident made it on his social media accounts, too, police say, as did footage of other intrusions in mid-to-late May. According to authorities, Vazquez allegedly went to three different homes -- two in Centereach and one in Selden -- between May 19 and May 24 and asked to use the bathrooms.

Once inside, he allegedly filmed the residents and the inside of their homes without their knowledge or consent while creating a disturbance, according to police. Vazquez was arrested at a friend's house Monday.
"I say there’s a line between what’s legal and what’s not and when you cross that line there will be consequences," said Suffolk County Police Commissioner Kevin Catalina.
