In this 'CrimeWatch,' FOX 7 Austin's Meredith Aldis talks with residents of a Southwest Austin neighborhood outraged after the District Attorney rejected felony charges against Rami Zawaideh.

In January, residents said Zawaideh took a sledgehammer to city property.

Zawaideh was charged with felony criminal mischief and a warrant was issued for his arrest. On January 26, court records show he had an order of commitment. Last month, the Travis County District Attorney rejected the felony charges. Zawaideh has been arrested in Travis County six times in less than a year and all the cases have been dismissed or rejected. Murff said this is an example of a bigger problem in this city.A homeless man accused of causing a lot of problems in South Austin has been arrested, according to court records.

Zawaideh is now back at it in a different spot. He has set up camp near a trail where Murff and his wife walk their dogs.
