Unusual circumstances have left federal prosecutors pursuing vandalism charges against Andrew Pastirik, a U.S. government worker accused of killing Matyoramhinga in a drunken driving collision. Much of the case against Pastirik is shrouded in secrecy at a federal courthouse in northern Virginia. Court documents show the only charge filed against Pastirik in the 2008 death is one of “malicious mischief,” or vandalism, for wrecking a U.S. government-owned Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving.
