Commerce City Hall Tagger suspect Joshua Vasquez earns my "Idiot Felon" of the Week! He tags City Hall while 100 Deputies are inside at a meeting. What a nut!

City of Commerce:

I LOVE THIS NEWS from the Media Department over at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department....

I have to applaud this one tagger Joshua Vasquez of Commerce who is making headlines tonight. This guy is an idiot, and tonight, well, hes in jail and in a heap of trouble. 

Law enforcement officers always like to remind the public that there is never a good time or place to commit graffiti vandalism.  On Fridayafternoon at around 4:30 p.m., it proved to be a very bad time for tagging suspect Vasquez.

You see, over 100 sheriff's deputies and police officers were attending a law enforcement training class when they saw a 22-year old man quickly etch the glass door that leads directly into a City of Commerce meeting room. As Vasquez began to open the door to etch the inside, he looked shocked to see dozens of deputies and officers running directly towards him.

He turned and ran down the sidewalk as at least 40 deputies and officers crammed through the doorway at the City of Commerce Aquatic Center to go after him.  Within 30 feet of running, Vasquez tripped over his own feet and a curb, and his momentum caused him to launch forward and fall down to the ground. Several deputies were within feet of him and restrained him on the ground.

Captain Mike Parker, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, was teaching the class at the time and said, "We were discussing the importance of having backup when engaged in foot pursuits. Suddenly, the attention of the entire class was drawn to the doorway because for a moment it looked like the suspect was waving at us. We quickly realized he was actually etching the glass, and then the whole class went after him. Looking at the door later on, it turns out we could see him, but he couldn't see us. It would appear he picked the wrong room to vandalize."

After deputies placed him handcuffed into the back seat of a sheriff's radio car, Vasquez who is 6'04"and 280 pounds, kicked out the rear window before being further restrained. Vasquez is an East Los Angeles resident and was booked at East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station for felony vandalism to the glass door and vandalism to the radio car.

So, tonight, I congratulate Joshua Vasquez of Commerce, California for earning the "DUMBEST TAGGER IN AMERICA AWARD!" 

His reward will probably land him in jail for a long time!

Right ON Josher!
