Officers were called to a domestic violence protection order violation on the night of Dec. 16.
Last year, the campaign netted 17 DUI arrests in the final two weeks of the year.
Local officials say the woman spent nearly five hours vandalizing items and spreading debris, causing over $5,000 in damage.
Officers made 23 arrests, many of which were accompanied by warrants and additional charges.
The man faces several charges, including assault, reckless driving and driving without a valid license.
The suspect now faces two charges of malicious mischief and remains at the Whatcom County Jail without bail.
Deputies used a drone to find the two attempting to escape once more in a stolen rowboat, using plywood as an oar.
Under the new law, maximum fines will increase to $5000 and a 90-day license suspension.
The victim told deputies that the man had broken windows, damaged the walls, scrawled graffiti and left burn marks on the carpet in their home.
In a Grinch-like spirit, the suspect cut the wires of the shopping center’s lighted tree display.
